Stormwater Showcase: Community in our Catchment

Stormwater Showcase: Community in our Catchment

Tue 24 Mar 2026, 4:00 AM - 5:00 AM

Bremner Bay (look for the WAI flags)

WAI Wanaka's First Stormwater Showcase. 


Do you know where your stormwater goes? 


From rooftop to roadside, from drain to stream, every drop of stormwater has a journey. Join WAI Wanaka for their very first Stormwater Showcase, a community event highlighting the community in our catchment


Discover practical, hands-on ways you can get involved, right from the source to the stream, and learn how small actions at home and with your neighbours can make a big difference to the health of our waterways. 


Who You'll Meet: 


  • The Adopt a Drain team from WAI Wanaka - Learn simple, effective steps you can take at home to prevent pollutants from entering local waterways
  • Bremner Bay Action Group - Showcasing their summer water testing results and sharing insights about the health of Bremner Bay
  • Wonderful WAI Wanaka volunteers - demonstrating how native plants can be used to create rain gardens and mini wetlands that naturally filter stormwater
  • Mitre 10 - Discover practical solutions like rain tanks and drain diverters that you can  install at home to reduce runoff. 
  • Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) - Available to answer your questions about the local stormwater network and how it operates in our district.

Let's see what this community can do to slow the flow! Come along, get inspired, and be part of protecting Wānaka's waterways for generations to come.
