Project Little Oneroa aims to improve the health of Little Oneroa Stream and catchment area and ultimately create a safe and sustainable environment for future generations of Waiheke Island residents.
Project Little Oneroa volunteers are working on a door-to-door campaign in the stream’s catchment area, providing water minimisation tools and septic tank maintenance advice. Free workshops, on topics such as installing waterless composting toilets, have also been popular.
The project is led by the Waiheke Resources Trust, which is working alongside Waiheke Local Board and Auckland Council. Funding has come via Clean Stream Waiheke Limited, the Environmental Initiatives Fund and Waiheke Local Board.
“Little Oneroa Stream doesn’t look dangerous, but it is,” says Waiheke Resources Trust Chair John Stansfield.
“As the kaitiaki (caretakers) of Waiheke Island, it is time that the community took responsibility for our waterways.”
