Accelerating local action for our fresh water.

By working together, we empower communities to understand their water, their environment, and their impact.

WAI Wānaka aims to connect the many individuals, community groups, iwi, landowners and businesses undertaking positive work towards building healthy ecosystems and supporting community wellbeing in our region.

Taking a whole-of-basin approach, we encourage, utilise and facilitate science (including planning, research and monitoring), community action and education programmes relating to these purposes.

WAI Wānaka’s actions are based on a shared roadmap, it’s called the Community Catchment Plan.
