The Ruamāhanga Whaitua Committee combined the knowledge and experience of the catchment community: farmers, iwi, householders, scientists, recreationalists, business owners, and environmentalists.

The Committe included representatives from the community, each of the territorial authorities in the Wairarapa, local iwi (Rangitāne o Wairarapa and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa), and the Greater Wellington Regional Council. Peter Gawith and Esther Dijkstra were elected Chair and Deputy Chair in 2014.
