Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment - Te Kaitiaki Taiao a Te Whare Pāremata

Measuring Up: Environmental Reporting Discussion document submission

The discussion document contains two proposals. The first is that the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment be required to prepare a report on the State of the Environment at a national level every five years. The second is that changes be made to the Resource Management Act to enable the collection of nationally consistent environmental statistics from local authorities. This submission is focused primarily on the first proposal.
