Raising concerns with us

If you have raised concerns with your local council about an environmental regulated by the RMA and you believe they have not taken the appropriate action, or have not started any enforcement action, you can contact us.

We will need you to provide  details of the pollution incident and a summary of what you have done to communicate your concerns with your local council.
