September 2019: Get involved

Welcome 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.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
