This
strategy explains how Council approaches compliance, monitoring, and
enforcement under the Resource Management Act 1991. It sets out where we focus
our efforts and how we prioritise work to manage environmental risks and
support good practice across the region.
It
also outlines the principles we work to, such as being fair, consistent, and
transparent, and how we use a mix of education, engagement, and enforcement to
address non-compliance.
Overall,
the strategy is about taking a practical, risk-based approach to protect
Marlborough’s environment while working alongside our community to achieve
better outcomes.
