This summary is based on resource consent monitoring
undertaken by Greater Wellington between 1 July 2006
and 30 June 2007. Monitoring is undertaken to check
consent holders are meeting the conditions of their
resource consents. The frequency and type of monitoring
depends on the scale and nature of the effects of the
consented activity. For activities with the potential for
significant adverse effects, such as waste-water discharges
or landfills, site specific monitoring programmes are
undertaken.
