There are several meetings coming up around the district, hosted by Tasman District Council - Te Kaunihera o te tai o Aorere.

Thursday 20 November, 7pm, at the Brightwater public hall.
Anyone who is interested is invited to attend their local meeting to hear information about river works over the past year, discuss river management issues in your area, and help plan for work to be done in 2026.
