| Earth Dam - Dam Management Procedure | Dam Management procedure needs to be revised. Consider maintaining lower operating level. | Council will be maintaining lower dam levels. |
| Drone Survey of the Dam | Drone Survey of the dam to check silt and debris levels following recent weather events. | A drone survey of the dam was completed late 2023. The survey has shown no excess silt build up in the dam and so it can operate as required. |

Category 2 Projects
Projects Council has committed to progressing to detailed design.
| Project Name | Description | Update |
| One Mile Creek Flow Improvements | Assess stream capacity and improve conveyance. | Council has completed initial modelling of the Waihī Beach earth dam. Stormwater modelling has shown it provides some benefit in stormwater management for the One Mile Creek catchment. In order to meet new dam safety legislations, the dam now requires upgrading. Council is in the process of engaging a dam engineer to undertake concept design of the upgraded dam. Once concept design of the upgraded dam is complete, Council will then begin concept design of other projects in this catchment, including flow improvements and erosion management of One Mile Creek. |
