The Otago Regional Council works with communities to preserve native animals and plants, and guard against pests. We ensure natural resources – such as our water, air and land are cared for. Our harbourmaster keeps people safe on the water.
We promote sustainable behaviours towards natural resources. The Resource Management Act 1991 sets out how we should manage our environment and forms the foundation for many of our rules. Learn about consents and compliance, get help or report environmental concerns.
Natural hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides, can harm communities. Learn how the Council works to identify risks and help communities coordinate, prepare, respond in emergencies and recover.
