Compliance Monitoring

Compliance Monitoring Activity Reports now online

In order to achieve the purpose of the Resource Management Act, Environment Canterbury monitors resource consents and activities permitted by regional plans to ensure users of resources are complying with the conditions of their authorisations.

Environment Canterbury staff monitor activities with the potential to have an adverse impact on the environment, ranging from farming and industrial activities through to landfills and sewage treatment systems.

The Environment Canterbury Compliance Monitoring Section is spilt into a Southern Team based in Timaru and a Northern Team based in Christchurch.

Compliance Monitoring Officers ensure the conditions of resource consents are being complied with, ensure permitted activities are conducted in accordance with regional plans and respond to any activities that may be having an adverse environmental effect.

Compliance Monitoring Officers work with Enforcement Officers to deal with activities that are not authorised by the Resource Management Act, regional plans or resource consents.

If you have any questions about the compliance monitoring of your resource consent, please contact Customer Services.
