Bullock Creek in Wānaka. ‘‘Following development activity in the upstream catchment, [the] council has been exploring opportunities to improve how stormwater enters and flows through Bullock Creek Hatchery Springs Wetland, into Bullock Creek, and on to Lake Wanaka for some time. ‘‘I’m pleased to share we’re progressing several modifications to the Alpha Series stormwater retention pond nearby. Friends of Bullock Creek group said they were ‘‘optimistic that the current QLDC project will improve the quality of stormwater making its way into Bullock Creek’’. Access to the reserve will be maintained at all times, but a small detour will be in place for pedestrians near the stormwater retention pond.
