Avon-Ōtākaro Network is a network of individuals and organisations.  Our members, supporters and collaborators are many and diverse. We are dedicated to creating a multi-purpose River park and ecological reserve in the Avon River residential red zone as defined in our Charter. We began after the first Avon River red-zone land announcement in mid-2011. Since then we have established a rich and significant history of achievements. Leadership of the network is provided by our Strategic Steering Group (SSG) – the ‘guardians of the vision’. Members of the SSG are also members of Avon-Ōtākaro Incorporated a legal entity established to act as fund-holder to support the vision of Avon-Ōtākaro Network. We contract the services of several part-time contractors to support us in progressing our key initiatives.
