Dear Harrison
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION UNDER THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL INFORMATION
AND MEETINGS ACT 1987 (ACT)
Thank you for your email dated 1 December 2020 requesting information relating to livestock grazing
on Watercare land.
Our response
The locations where Watercare has grazing animals (sheep or cattle) are:
Mangere Wastewater Treatment Plant – cattle
Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant – sheep & cattle
Beachlands Wastewater Treatment Plant – cattle
Waiuku Wastewater Treatment – sheep.
Watercare does not own the land in the Waitakere or Hunua catchments.
In terms of the numbers of animals, this depends on the time of year (winter destocking), spring and
summer greater stock numbers, so there is no consistent number of stock.
Yours sincerely
David Hawkins
Chief Corporate Affairs Officer
