We help protect our region's land, water, air and coast by making sure activities follow the rules that help look after the environment and our community. Our Compliance and Monitoring team supports people to meet their resource consent conditions, responds to concerns and takes action when needed. Our work involves:
- monitoring consented and permitted activities
- reviewing monitoring information
- carrying out site visits and inspections
- responding to environmental concerns
- using compliance tools when conditions aren’t met.
