About Environment Canterbury

Waitaha/Canterbury region is like no other, and we are proud to call it home. We work with Papatipu Rūnanga, stakeholders and the wider community to shape a thriving and resilient region, now and for future generations. Toitū te marae o Tāne, toitū te marae o Tangaroa, toitū te iwi. As a regional council, we’ve organised our work around the core services we provide - what we’re fundamentally here to do, and why. We’re focused on the social, economic, environmental and cultural impact our work will contribute to the community and the region. We’ve grouped our responsibilities into three areas: Environmental Regulation and Protection Ngā mahi tiakina me ngā whakaritenga taiao We are an environmental regulator, responsible for managing natural resources including air, soil, water and land. We work with mana whenua, stakeholders and communities to promote the sustainable management of these natural resources, and protect and enhance the health of our natural environment. Community Preparedness and Response to Hazards Te whakarite hapori me ngā urupare mōrearea We support the community to be prepared for and able to respond to natural and human-induced hazards and events. Our focus in flood and river resilience is advocating to Central Government for co-investment opportunities, planning and preparedness, and delivering on required outcomes. Public Transport Ngā waka tūmatanui As New Zealand’s largest region and home to its second-largest city, Waitaha/Canterbury needs robust public transport services to support growth and keep communities connected. We want more people to use public transport more often so they can access key centres and opportunities, quickly and conveniently.
