Te Mana o te Wai refers to the vital importance of water. When managing freshwater, it ensures the health and well-being of the water is protected and human health needs are provided for before enabling other uses of water. It expresses the special connection all New Zealanders have with freshwater. By protecting the health and well-being of our freshwater we protect the health and well-being of our people and environments. Through engagement and discussion, regional councils, communities and tangata whenua will determine how Te Mana o te Wai is applied locally in freshwater management.
This paper discusses key steps in the consenting process and features of the consent, as well as the key lessons learnt.

This report details National's policy for freshwater management.
This report recommends that estuaries and the waterways that feed into them are treated as a single entity 'from the mountains to the sea'.
This report, undertaken for Auckland Council by Tonkin and Taylor in 2018 covers a comprehensive review of the areas in Henderson (including Te Atatu Peninsula) for potential flooding. The model takes into account the effects of climate change and predicts a one in a hundred year flooding event to cause 234mm of rain in 24 hours. The January 2023 floods were not far off this number at 240mm, although 291mm fell from 27th to the 31st January.
