Waimakariri Biodiversity Weed Control

⁠⁠⁠We are looking to establish a contract for biodiversity weed control within the Waimakariri River Regional Park (WRRP) until 30th June 2023, with the option of a further one-year extension at Environment Canterbury’s discretion.
The total maximum value for work covering each of these areas until 30th June 2023 will be negotiated and agreed upon with the successful respondent. This amount will be split between the four sites, with The Sanctuary wetland requiring the highest proportion of weed control work.
The weed control will be spread across for significant lowland wetland sites within the WRRP, with funding allocated to each site as follows:

• The Sanctuary Wetland (approx. 55%)
o Access off Coutts Island Road

• Te Rauakaaka Nature Reserve (TRNR) (approx. 10%)
o Access of Kainga Road

• Poynters Wetland (approx. 10%)
o At the confluence of the Kaiapoi River, access through Kaiapoi Island.

• Baynons Wetland (approx. 5%)
o Access off Madeleys Road.
Respondents should familiarise themselves with each of the sites, to better understand the work environment.
