This is the primary forum for advice to the Council during the developmental stages for water, energy, waste, biodiversity, urban design and transport management, in the context of Council’s roles and priorities.
The group is not the sole representative of the community's views, but provides balanced advice on direction and topical issues. Up to 15 members can sit on the Environmental Reference Group at any one time. In addition, our two Treaty partners (Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust and Te Rūnanga o Ngati Toa Rangatira Incorporated), are invited to attend and represent their views.
