Remember to contact the Regional Council
if intending to undertake any channel
maintenance that entails machinery
disturbing the banks or the bed of a
stream or river. The Regional Freshwater
Plan requires a resource consent for any
work that involves excavation or diversion.
To protect trout habitat, the Regional
Freshwater Plan also excludes instream

the Taranaki Fish and Game Council
approves their specific location.

General Description
Watsons Hill Bush is located on privately owned land on Toe Toe Road, 3.5Km north-west of Tarata. The
site is a 2.9 ha remnant of lowland tawa, kohekohe, rewarewa, hinau, podocarp forest, on short steep

their waterways, how communities value these waterways and
what goals should be set for the future, based on economic,
social, cultural and environmental factors.
