Past Public Meetings

The Land and Water Forum released its first report A Fresh Start for Freshwater in September 2010. Ministers then asked the Forum to run a series of engagement meetings around New Zealand to give the public an opportunity to find out about the Forum’s recommendations and discuss them with Forum members and other stakeholders. These were held between October 2010 and March 2011, and involved 1200 people.

Collated notes from group discussions held at each of these meetings can be found below. The Report to Ministers on these engagement meetings can be found here.
