Regional Overview
Air, land and water in the Wellington region – state and trends Regional overview This summary highlights the key findings from State of the Environment monitoring we carry out of natural resources across the Wellington region. It is drawn from eight technical reports which give the full picture of the health of the Wellington region’s air, land, fresh waters and coast. The reports, published every five years, are based on environmental monitoring and investigations over the past five to ten years (and longer for some resources). The findings are informing the current review of Greater Wellington’s regional plans – the ‘rule books’ for ensuring our region’s natural resources are sustainably managed. These plans are now more than ten years old and we are developing a new integrated plan. Community input to the review is critical – you can find out how to have a say on the back page. How do we measure the health of the region’s air, land and water resources? Regional councils have a legal responsibility under section 35 of the Resource Management Act 1991 to monitor the state of the environment – this essentially means tracking the quality and quantity of the region’s natural resources over time. Greater Wellington does this through long-term monitoring programmes across the region focusing on: ● Air quality at 6 locations ● Soil quality (118 sites under a range of different land uses) and stability ● Rainfall (at 50 sites) and river flows/levels (at 45 sites) ● Groundwater levels (at 146 sites) and quality (at 71 sites) ● Water quality at popular river and beach recreation spots (100 sites) ● River/stream water quality and ecosystem health (at 55 sites) ● The health of selected estuaries and our two harbours Measuring river flow We also carry out short-term investigations where our routine monitoring identifies gaps or potential problems, such as poor air or water quality. -

Local Government Leaders' Climate Change Declaration
Local Government Leaders’ Climate Change Declaration In 2015, Mayors and Chairs of New Zealand declared an urgent need for responsive leadership and a holistic approach to climate change. We, the Mayors and Chairs of 2017, wholeheartedly support that call for action. Climate change presents significant opportunities, challenges and risks to communities throughout the world and in New Zealand. Local and regional government undertakes a wide range of activities that will be impacted by climate change and provides infrastructure and services useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience. We have come together, as a group of Mayors and Chairs representing local government from across New Zealand to: 1. acknowledge the importance and urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generations; 2. give our support to the New Zealand Government for developing and implementing, in collaboration with councils, communities and businesses, an ambitious transition plan toward a low carbon and resilient New Zealand; 3. encourage Government to be more ambitious with climate change mitigation measures; 4. outline key commitments our councils will take in responding to the opportunities and risks posed by climate change; and 5. recommend important guiding principles for responding to climate change. We ask that the New Zealand Government make it a priority to develop and implement an ambitious transition plan for a low carbon and resilient New Zealand. We stress the benefits of early action to moderate the costs of adaptation to our communities. We are all too aware of challenges we face shoring up infrastructure and managing insurance costs. -

This includes the revitalisation of the community by addressing the social, economic, rural and built environmental effects of the drought and pandemic. The purpose of this Plan is to outline what actions were undertaken in the Respond phase and outline what still needs to be undertaken in the Recover and Revitalise phases to facilitate good planning and coordination of actions.
