Environmental monitoring
Greater Wellington undertakes a range of environmental monitoring across the Wellington region.
Monitoring the state of the environment allows us to:
- observe and interpret trends or changes in environmental quality and determine the reasons for these
- have good information for guiding resource consent decision making
- evaluate the effectiveness of the Regional Policy Statement and regional plans, and identify where policy changes may be necessary for the sustainable management of the region's natural resources; and
- convey information about our natural resources to the wider community.
We use this information to produce environmental reports.
