Greater Wellington Regional Council

Hutt River Consent Independent Review Panel Member

Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) is seeking Registrations of Interest from experienced specialists in river geomorphology to engage one individual to serve as a member on the Independent Review Panel (the Panel). The Panel will review and evaluate documents associated with the resource consents which authorise GWRC to undertake river management activities in Te Awa Kairangi / Hutt River and Wainuiomata River.

GWRC is committed to continually improving our good management practices within our rivers to address channel design challenges and evolving cultural and environmental standards and expectations. The Panel review is part of this process, and a regulatory requirement under the resource consents.

GWRC is looking to engage a supplier who has the skills, knowledge, and expertise in river geomorphology to provide valuable input to the document review and the Panel's recommendation report. To ensure the Panel is independent from GWRC, we require a supplier who can demonstrate independence and impartiality and has not had a previous or current working relationship with GWRC in relation to these consents.
