Part of our role at the Otago Regional Council is to monitor how resource consents are used and the impact they have on the environment. This will mean that we make sure the consent holder meets the conditions of the consent. At the same time, we will also check on the environmental effects of the activity.

For some consents, there may be conditions where consent holders are required to report at regular intervals on a specified aspect of their consent or prepare and operate in line with a management plan.
