about us

Spearheaded by John Gifford, Chair of the Lakes Water Quality Society, the Fix Ōhau Wall is a community-driven campaign that is a culmination of passionate residents of Rotorua and backed by the Lake Rotoiti Community Association and committee members with a shared vision to protect the long-term water quality and ecological integrity of Lake Rotoiti.

The primary focus is to put a stop to the ongoing leakage of nutrient and algae-laden Lake Rotorua water through the deteriorating Ōhau Diversion Wall before irreversible damage is done.

Waiting for council action has long passed. Together, the community is not asking for a temporary fix but a durable, lasting engineering solution that will continue to protect the environment and Lake Rotoiti.
