It’s your opportunity to chat with us and ask questions regarding air quality in your local community and across Otago.
While Otago’s air quality has improved over the past 20 years, our science data shows the need to do more.
Monitoring and research show that the main culprit for air pollution in Otago is home heating from solid fuel burners. Other sources include outdoor burning, vehicle and industrial emissions, dust, odour and agricultural spraying.
We have identified potential approaches to manage air quality and want to hear what you think.
Can’t make it to the online presentation? No worries –— you can attend an in-person drop-in session nearest you, or share your thoughts and heating habits in our online feedback form: www.orc.govt.nz/freshair
Online feedback is open until 11.59pm Monday, 26 August.
Your feedback will influence how we manage air quality in the future.
