Policy and plans
Developing, implementing and reviewing policies is an important part of Environment Waikato's role in managing the region's resources.
Our policies are developed from our knowledge of resources with input from tangata whenua, resource users, conservation groups and the community.
Many of our plans and policies are available online and can also be ordered through our publications.
