Our work

We are the regional council for Canterbury, known as Environment Canterbury/Kaunihera Taiao ki Waitaha. Our work is funded in the most part by the people of Canterbury.

As we set out in our Long-Term Plan, we’ve taken a different approach to the way we describe our work. We’ve defined it as the delivery of three core services. These are:

  • Environmental Regulation and Protection | Ngā mahi tiakina me ngā whakaritenga taiao

  • Community Preparedness and Response to Hazards | Te whakarite hapori me ngā urupare mōrearea

  • Public Transport | Ngā waka tūmatanui
