OPERATIVE: The Natural Resources Regional Plan (NRRP) regulates the sustainable management of natural resources in Canterbury. It is complemented by catchment or location-based plans or water conservation orders.
The NRRP was developed over several years with significant input from people in Canterbury and represents a huge milestone.
The policies in the plan will need to be updated, however, to reflect the community-driven priorities being developed by zone committees under the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.
This will happen through a new Land and Water Regional Plan to build on, improve, and in some instances replace, Chapters 4 to 8 of the NRRP. This new plan will also embed the provisions of the Chapter 2 in the NRRP.

OPERATIVE: The NRRP consists of eight chapters which address sustainable management of natural resources in the Canterbury Region.
