Stream assessment reports are part of an ongoing programme of gathering ecological and engineering data on all North Shore streams.
Our stream walkers survey fish species, vegetation, erosion, spawning areas, stormwater outfall pipes, water clarity, and how much of the stream is in its natural state, lined with concrete or piped.
This data is collected and collated into reports which form part of the Stormwater Catchment Management Plans. These provide information and guidance on managing the stormwater system including scoping works for improvements to the streams.
The comprehensive survey of streams in North Shore City is believed to be the largest carried out at any council in New Zealand. These reports provide a comprehensive understanding of each stream and wider catchment area and the process is being adopted by several other councils in New Zealand.
