Reporting back

How is Canterbury doing?

Find out about some of the work being done by Environment Canterbury and the community, and the difference it’s making across our region.

We have a statutory obligation to report back on certain measures – and also a desire to share current state/progress information in the areas we know are of interest to the community. A few key areas of activity have been picked out below and we will add more over time.

If you are looking for our statutory reports, you can find these under Plans, strategies and bylaws, recreational water quality annual report and water use report. Find out more about biodiversity reporting.

You can also see how we're tracking to achieve the community's long-term water goals, in our 2021 CWMS progress report.
