Government goals for land use and fresh water
In May 2018, the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister for the Environment presented Cabinet with 3 papers setting out their goals for:
- restoring fresh water and waterways
- a new approach to the Crown/Māori relationship for fresh water
- sustainable high-value land use.

The sustainable high-value land use paper provides a snapshot in time, but the work is fast-paced. In some areas, work has already progressed beyond the details outlined in the paper.
The papers relating to fresh water are available on the Ministry for the Environment website.
