The Strategy for the Lakes of the Rotorua District is our overarching policy document. It sets out a clear vision for the future and practical steps to achieve it.
Developed collaboratively by our three partner organisations with community input through workshops and meetings.
E tiakina ana, e manaakitia ana hoki ngā roto o te rohe o Te Arawa hei painga mō tātau me ngā whakatupuranga e ara mai nei, ā, me te aro anō ki te hononga tuku iho o Te Arawa ki ō rātau roto.
The lakes of the Rotorua district and their catchments are preserved and protected for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations, while recognising the traditional relationship of Te Arawa with their ancestral lakes.
The current strategy (2025) was developed by a collaborative project team of representatives from the three partner agencies. The community was also involved with various workshops and meetings to capture what the community wants for the lakes.
