The Makotuku Stream, which flows down Mt Ruapehu and joins the Mangawhero River, will benefit from three of the most recent six funding grants for Ruapehu waterways.
There was $33,000 available in this round of grants from the Government's Freshwater Improvement Fund for the Ngā Wai Ora o te Whangaehu project. The money is administered by Horizons Regional Council.
Councillor Bruce Rollinson said there were some good applications made.
"We received eight applications, seeking a total of $103,000," Rollinson said.
"From the $33,000 available I'm pleased to announce we were able to grant six projects covering different areas of the catchment, which is great."
