Annual Report 2010

Submitted by jonathan on Sun, 2010-06-20 11:43.
In a year which had the biggest change to environmental legislation in the last 20 years, we’ve seen increased interest by the Government and by developers in commercialising the conservation estate. With a widening shortfall of generation, we can expect that there will be increased interest in exporting power from areas such as the West Coast. Combine these changes to weakened protection provided by the Resource Management Act and the future looks bleak for rivers. However - it’s not all doom and gloom.

NZRCA is now Whitewater New Zealand

Submitted by jonathan on Wed, 2009-07-15 22:58.

Whitewater NZ works to protect and conserve rivers, improve opportunities for kayakers to enjoy our whitewater resources safely, and protect public access to rivers for recreational use. Incorporated in 1957 as the New Zealand Canoeing Association (NZCA), the national association reorganised in the late 1990's as the NZ Recreational Canoeing Association (NZRCA). At the recent AGM it was agreed to rebrand as Whitewater New Zealand. We'll be rolling out the new brand starting with rivers.org.nz and NZ Canoeing.

It has been a particularly busy year for the NZRCA, particularly for those who have been involved with conservation issues. Many people within the executive have assisted each other in their work and we are fortunate to have a team with a range of skills and experience.
