We manage the effects of people’s use of freshwater, land, air and coastal water. At the same time, we also have a broader responsibility with others for the economic, social and cultural well-being of the regional community.
A healthy environment and strong communities are central to what we do. We sustainably manage our natural resources so our communities can thrive. We develop and implement regional plans to protect our natural environment.
Who you are is important to us. We welcome diversity and applicants from a broad range of backgrounds to join us with their relevant experience. We believe that if our people thrive, our communities and in turn our region will also thrive - Mō te taiao, mō ngā tāngata.
