Bay of Plenty Regional Council looks after the environmental management of the region. This includes setting policies and rules that help protect the region’s land, air and water. We also respond to pollution events and take a lead role in pest management. We have an active role in minimising risks from natural hazards, making sure you’re safe when on the water along our coast and on our lakes and rivers, and we provide public transport. We also provide support to community groups for environmental enhancement.
