Request for information: 

  1. "At what date, post the 2001 cut, did the Waikanae River first breach the trigger points, as set as monitoring points for intervention... and how far south from that trigger point has the river now proceeded? 
  2. Why has GWRC not used the consent granted and cut the Waikanae River mouth? 
  3. How much does it cost GWRC to cut the Waikanae River mouth? 
  4. I note an 'informal' approach was made by KCDC to GWRC in 2018 and they were told GWRC were 'monitoring the situation'. What monitoring has been done and what are the findings? 
  5. According to a recent OIA request from KCDC, the last aerial photo they have was taken in 2021. Does GWRC have aerial photographs from 2022 and 2023 and could they supply them? 
  6. Does GWRC consider it has a responsibility to cut the river so as to protect residents' properties on adjacent land accreted due to historical river management? 
  7. Have local iwi expressed that they do not want the river cut? If so, has this influenced GWRC's actions, and what was their objection?"
