Regional plans incorporate the aspirations of mana whenua and the communities of Waitaha Canterbury and reflect national direction, and set out requirements for resource users.

It's our responsibility to monitor compliance, educate resource users and enforce the requirements of the Resource Management Act 1991. Enforcing the rules set out in the regional plans and resource consent requirements is a critical part of meeting this responsibility.
