Thriving together

Bay of Plenty Regional Council works to ensure the integrated sustainable management of the regions geothermal systems.

Fresh water is a precious resource that we help to manage and protect. It is essential to life, work and play; it sustains the things we value.

Nearly all of the coastal marine area in our region is common marine and coastal area meaning it is not owned by any individual or organisation.

Integrated catchment management changes the way we look at and manage natural resources, particularly land and water. Instead of looking at each resource in isolation, it considers how the management of one impacts another.
