Tarawera River Catchment Plan
The Operative Regional Plan for the Tarawera River Catchment (Tarawera River Plan) covers the catchment of the Tarawera River including all its sub-catchments, and Upper Tarawera Lakes and their catchments, but excludes Lake Rerewhakaaitu and its catchment.
The Tarawera River Catchment Plan will eventually be incorporated into the Regional Natural Resources Plan with a freshwater plan change, which implements the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.
