Te Waikoropupū Springs campaigners fear council will grant consents
The process to protect the aquifer that feeds Te Waikoropupū Springs in Golden Bay with a Water Conservation Order (WCO) is under way.
However, a campaigner for Save Our Springs, Kevin Moran, said he was worried the Tasman District Council (TDC) was planning to grant water consents to dairy farmers before the order was complete.
The TDC has said that Moran’s claims are unfounded and it only had only received one consent application, which had been placed on hold.

He mihi maioha,
Tēnā koutou e te iti, e te rahi e whakarauika mai nei ki tēnei marae kōrero o Ngāti Tama. Tuatahi, me huri ō tātou ngākau ki te hunga kua nunumi atu ki te pō, haere, oti atu rā. Ko rātou te hunga wairua ki rātou, ko tātou ngā mahuetanga iho o rātou mā, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
Welcome to this platform to help us ‘hiki wairua’ – boost our spirits and encourage us to keep doing what we’re doing during this trying time of the Covid-19 lockdown. We will take this opportunity to provide ‘food for thought’ with some snippets from our local history in Te Tauihu, discussion about place names and customs, some Māori language tips, waiata and karakia.
Te Hiki Wairua o Ngāti Tama ki Te Tauihu gives whānau the opportunity to connect with their whakapapa and iwi through stories, information and teachings. This pānui will be a regular segment, each week focusing on different aspects of Ngāti Tama, we welcome whānau contribution.
