September 2019 September 2019: Get involvedWelcome to Te Pūtara. Here at the EPA we are looking for more ways to give voice to the people our work matters to. This month we are excited to share with you a Community Involvement space on our website. Here you can find out about our work to set the rules, and encourage monitoring and compliance to protect our environment and people. There are new
opportunities for you and your community to be involved and tell us what is important to you. While we're at it, we would also appreciate your feedback on this newsletter. Please take a moment to tell us what you think and what you'd like to hear more about.
We want to give voice to as diverse a range of New Zealanders as possible. Here are some ways that you and your community can be involved, and let us know what is important to you.
