The 16,400 ha Papanui Catchment is one of 16 sub-catchments that flow into the Tukituki River.
The catchment and surrounding area has a rich cultural history.
Blessed with an abundance of natural resources, the catchment
was regarded by MÄori as a ‘bread basket’ prior to European
settlement. Since then, the Papanui Stream and its tributaries
have been extensively modified for agriculture. There are
approximately 130 farms in the catchment producing sheep
and beef, dairy and a range of crops.

This purpose of this Environmental Code of Practice (ECoP) is to define both the range of operational activities undertaken by Council and its contractors, and to describe best practice environmental standards that will apply to river control and drainage works, regardless of whether an activity requires a consent or not. Specifically, this ECoP will:
• Identify a range of values for the region’s waterways, to be considered as activities are designed, authorized and undertaken.
• Adopt best practice standards to avoid, mitigate and minimise an activity’s effect on the environment.
• Define activities and reasons for activities.
• Specify methodologies for each activity.
• List the procedures for consultation and notification, monitoring and reporting;
• Ensure works undertaken under the Environmental Code of Practice will acknowledge water body values and work in a way that does not adversely impact on those values.
