Management from the current GWRC Plan policy direction. GWRC has been developing a Regional Soil comprehensive draft Plan combined regional plan Regional that is also seeking to give Freshwater effect to the National Plan Policy Statement on Freshwater Management. The evolving WWUP will have strongly influence the freshwater regional plan component of any Wairarapa regional plan i.e. there should be comprehensive integration between the development orientated WWUP and the policy-driven regional plan. The integration of Hawkes Bay’s Ruataniwha irrigation scheme and HBRC’s Plan Change 6 illustrates this approach and the major investment in time and expertise required. Major changes in water use within the catchments would require a significant science input from GWRC or its successor(s) if reorganization were to occur. Risks:
