Your catchment - Coromandel zone

Well managed catchments that enhance economic and environmental sustainability, recognise community and culture aspirations while mitigating natural risks.

The Coromandel Peninsula is known for its beautiful ecosystems and contains a range of unique environments of significant natural, economic, social and cultural value. The Coromandel Catchment Zone (some 190,000+ hectares) extends from Tararu (just north of Thames), around the top of the Coromandel Peninsula to Whiritoa on the east coast of the peninsula.

From the mountain ranges to the sea - the Coromandel Zone team works to identify issues that relate to our land, water and communities by integrating three key areas of work: flood protection; river and catchment management and pest control. We are continuing to work alongside tangata whenua, iwi trusts, landowners and communities to undertake works across the peninsula.
