Krum supports move to improve Harbour health
Councillor Denise Krum is delighted that Watercare have stepped up and will be working collaboratively with Auckland Council to improve the Manukau Harbour’s health. Krum has been a long-time supporter of a programme such as this, and back in May 2015, she worked to have funding included in the 10-year budget.
The councillor for Maungakiekie-Tamaki says, ‘For too long the Manukau has been seen as the poor cousin to the Waitemata. There’s a lot we don’t know so Watercare’s funding for a hydrodynamic model will be an essential tool to help us to better manage the Harbour’s health as well as recognising the Manukau’s environmental and ecological significance to Auckland’. Krum will be following the developments closely along with the Manukau Harbour Forum who advocate for sustainable management of the Manukau Harbour and it’s foreshore.
Krum’s resolution at the Governing Body sought to not only fund, but to direct an integrated programme of work for the whole-of-council . Krum says "I believe this modelling will bring all parties together around an agreed knowledge foundation. It’s just what we need!”
