Freshwater is New Zealand’s most important natural resource. That's why improving water management is one of National’s environmental and economic priorities.
Building a broader consensus on water reform is essential for the way forward. That's why we set up the Land and Water Forum. The Forum was a first for New Zealand and has been an extraordinary success.
We received the Forum's final report and are pleased with the level of detail in their 53 recommendations. We've asked the Forum to lead public engagement on the report through workshops around the country and encourage the public to engage with the report before making any policy decisions.
As part of our commitment to cleaning up freshwater, National has invested $94 million over five years in initiatives to clean up some of New Zealand's iconic waterways.
