Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka now owns a whitebait stand on the Aparima River. The stand is available for whānau to use throughout the season but you will need to fill out a booking form and be required to read and acknowledge our whitebaiting Health and Safety documentation and have an induction. These forms sum up our expectations and your responsibilities as a user. This paperwork only has to be done once during the season. To be fair to everybody, bookings can only be made two weeks in advance and we will ballot out the prime tides if we have multiple requests for those periods. Whānau who have so far used the stand have found the people from the surrounding stands to be really supportive and helpful. So come on whānau, what could be better than a few hours on the awa catching a feed on whitebait.
Whitebait stand available for whānau to book.
