As New Zealand embarks on a new way of doing freshwater planning it is important to consider the forces driving this change, and some of the fundamental ideas about knowledge and democratic institutions that are being redefined along the way. Understanding these changes will help us to identify some of the challenges we must address to realise the potential of collaborative planning. This article draws upon the international and emerging New Zealand literature on collaborative planning, as well as the authors’ experience with a collaborative planning process for the greater Heretaunga plains of Hawke’s Bay.
