Te huawaere i te kauneke tauwhiro i Waitaha.

We do this so:

• We can breathe clean air, play and swim in the rivers, gather mahinga kai, benefit from the productive use of our land, and enjoy Canterbury’s unique biodiversity taonga and landscapes.
• We can live, travel, and move goods with ease, within and to/from the region, facilitating work, leisure and tourism.
• We have access to the information we need to be resilient in the face of short-term hazards and well-prepared for longer-term change to our region’s natural environment.
• We can all help shape the future of Canterbury, leaving a legacy for generations to come
