State of the Environment Reporting

Marlborough District Council has several monitoring responsibilities under the Resource Management Act 1991. These include monitoring the state of all or any part of the environment, so that Council can effectively carry out its functions under the Act and assess the suitability and effectiveness of its Regional Policy Statement and Resource Management Plans. To effect this, a detailed State of the Environment Monitoring Report for Marlborough is prepared every five years, with environmental update reports prepared for the years in-between.

Where Can I See a Copy of the Report and Updates?

Copies of the report and updates are held in several libraries around New Zealand, as well as at Council's Blenheim and Picton Customer Service Centres. Or the report and updates can be downloaded below.
