Watercourse Maintenance - Wellington, Kapiti, Hutt Valley
Greater Wellington Regional Council has regulatory control over all watercourses.
As a general rule, the care and maintenance of all watercourses is the responsibility of the landowner or the TLA. However under the 'watercourses agreeement' with local TLAs, Flood Protection staff based at Mabey Road Deopt and Otaki Depot carry out clearing work in a number of watercourses.This is done to keep the watercourse clear for flood flows.
The watercourses agreement does not provide for erosion repairs or work to protect individual private properties or assets.
