Environment

The ARC protects the region's natural environment by seeking to minimise the effects of development and pollution on the region's air, land and water. In these pages you can find out more about our environmental protection, monitoring and conservation programmes.

Pollution
In this section you will find information on how we manage air and land pollution, and deal with waste and recycling.
Air quality
We carry out work to monitor, educate, control and reduce the amount of pollutants in the air we breathe. Find out more here.
Volcanoes of Auckland
The Auckland volcanic field is unique and has developed within the last 140,000 years. Here you can find out about our volcanoes, preservation of the volcanic field and scenarios of any future eruption.
Sediment + erosion
The Auckland Regional Council is required to sustain and protect fish habitat and the quality of water bodies and coastal water from sediment pollution caused by erosion.
Rural care
