Environmental Risk Management Authority
Nga Kaiwhakatupatu Whakararu Taiao
Preventing or Managing risk to people and the environment.
People who have applied to introduce hazardous substances or new organisms to New Zealand are required under the Hazardou Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act 1996 to consider the risks and benefits their application may pose to Maori culture or our traditional relationships with our land, water, sites, wahi tapu, valued flora and fauna or other taonga
To achieve this applicants are often required to consult with Maori at either a local or national level, depending on the nature of the application.
Nga Kaihautu Tikanga Taiao is a statutory committee which advices the Authority on Maori issues. They provide reports to ERMA New Zealand on applications which raise significant issues or interests for Maori.
Kaupapa Kura Taiao is ERMA New Zealand's strategic Maori focus group. Contact ERMA to find out more about the wananga and hui with iwi/Maori. ERMA can offer assistance to iwi/Maori who want to get involved in HSNO decision-making. Iwi/Maori can also become part of the Maori National Network.
Environment Bay of Plenty
Environment Bay of Plenty is the regional council for the Bay of Plenty region.
Back in 1989, the Government took 25 organisations and turned them into the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, now called Environment Bay of Plenty. As caretakers of our land, air and water, Environment Bay of Plenty monitors the effects of human activities on our environment. We also promote the sustainable management of our natural and physical resources for present and future generations.
Our mission is to Work with our communities for a better environment
"Me mahi ngatahi tatau katoa, e ora rawa atu ai to tatou taiao"
Environment Bay of Plenty’s work guides and supports the sustainable development of the Bay of Plenty. We want to make sure our region grows and develops in a way that keeps its values safe for future generations.
A major focus of our work involves looking after the environment. We manage the effects of people’s use of freshwater, land, air and coastal water. However, we also have a broader responsibility with others for the economic, social and cultural well-being of the regional community.
Our other work includes:
- Managing the risks posed by our major rivers including the region’s major flood control schemes.
- Planning and prioritising the region’s land transport needs, including major roading improvements.
- Organising passenger transport services, including Tauranga’s Bay Hopper and Rotorua’s Cityride.
- Navigation and safety on our harbours and lakes.
- Supporting sustainable economic development.
- Strategic thinking for our region’s future.
