Tasman District Council is restarting its annual Rivercare meetings throughout the District. 

All interested members of the public are invited to attend their local meeting to hear information about river works in the past year, discuss river management issues in your area, and help plan for work to be done in 2025. 

Topics will include flood protection, erosion control, and maintenance of the riparian margin which may be significant to the area you live. 

If you are planning to attend one of these meetings and have a specific question or topic you would like discussed, please send an email to rivercare@tasman.govt.nz noting the question and issue of interest and the meeting you plan to attend.  

Six Rivercare meetings have been scheduled and are listed below. We look forward to seeing you there.
