Bay of Plenty Region Council is using a $3 million injection from the Environment Ministry's Jobs For Nature fund to accelerate its freshwater clean up.
Integrated catchments manager Chris Ingle says it will employ about 135 people to fence more than 170 km of private land and plant up to 450,000 native plants around the Pongakawa River and tributaries of the Waihi Estuary, the Paraiti and Kaituna, Nukuhou and Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes.
Iwi around the Maketu estuary have already endorsed the plan.
"We're working primarily with Te Arawa and the trust on the estuary down there with improvement work. They are already underway with their project. There are a mixture of farm owners, Māori and Pākehā, and we are working with all of them," he says.
