The Middle Waipa Liaison Subcommittee supported the improved co-ordination and maintenance of rivers and streams, with the focus on facilitating and assisting local communities. While supporting the Project Watershed proposals generally, the Subcommittee considered that the Project is seeking to achieve too much in too short a time, and recommends that initial work be undertaken on a pilot basis. It suggested that more local meetings be held to determine local solutions.

The use of incentives and voluntary methods to promote the protection needed was supported by the Subcommittee.
