Projects - Otarawaterways and Lake Trust

The Ōtara Waterways and Lake Trust is committed to empowering and supporting the community to take action and ownership in the restoration of the Ōtara Waterways.

Volunteers, community organisations, youth groups, churches and schools have all contributed through clean up days and plantings.

The key community engagement projects that the Trust is currently focusing on are:

Creek clean ups

Removing litter and illegally dumped items is an ongoing action for the Otara Waterways and Lake Trust.<

Community Planting days

Community planting days are a great way for people to give back to their community and get involved in restoring their local creeks.<

Neat Streets

In response to the problem of illegal dumping in some residential streets in Otara, the Otara Waterways and Lake Trust devised the Neat Streets programme.<
