You are being sent this email as you made a submission as part of Horizons Regional Council's consultation on provisional water quality targets. You can find that consultation by clicking here.

Horizons and our partners regularly review the science and other information that feeds into our Oranga Wai | Our Freshwater Future process. Recently, we identified some errors in our models that led to some data being reported incorrectly on our maps for the provisional water quality targets engagement. 

This information has now been corrected, and the corrections made are listed beneath the affected maps. We unreservedly apologise for these errors, and the confusion they might cause. 

The Oranga Wai process is an evolving one, and we always aim to present the best information we have at the time. We also aim to give you updated information when we have it and ensure you know about it. 

How can I find out exactly which information has changed?

We have updated the maps available online at haveyoursay.horizons.govt.nz. If you want specific data, please contact us by emailing info@ourfreshwaterfuture.nz.  

What do i do if I made a submission based on changed information?

The information has not changed substantially, with only slight changes to a few areas. We do not anticipate submissions needing to change. If you do want to change your submission, please contact us by emailing info@ourfreshwaterfuture.nz.
