WCO’s in Canterbury
The following is an excerpt from the Conservation Authority’s Report on Protecting New Zealand’s Rivers November 2011.
“The Environment Canterbury (Ecan) Act 2010 has created a separate regime for granting, amending or revoking WCO’s in Canterbury. Firstly it changed the statutory test and removed the primary purpose of protection.It makes the assessment of an application subject to Part 2 provisions of the RMA (sustainable management) rather than Part 9 (emphasis on the protection of outstanding amenity and intrinsic values)……
The different statutory tests in the Ecan Act for a new WCO or applications to amend an existing WCO in Canterbury mean ‘significantly less weight’ is given to the requirement to preserve and protect nationally outstanding waterbodies, and greater weight is given to potential abstractive uses of water.

A water wish for me as a person living in Canterbury would be to
leave Lake Sumner as it is, i.e a natural environment for all to
enjoy now and in the very distant future. I can see no long benefit
of building a dam. The calculations done are on paper only and seem to
focus only on short term profit. (and even this is is not proven
fact). Once a natural environment is destroyed it is destroyed
forever. Please think very carefully on these issues.
