Update October 2022
See the NDC 6-yearly review 2022 section below to view the first 6-yearly review.
The NDC is a key tool in the management and integration of the region’s natural water assets to mitigate impacts from climate change and flooding and allow the multiple community and environmental outcomes to be realised. It enables essential growth while protecting and enhancing Auckland’s highly valued aquatic environments – both freshwater and marine.
Monitoring strategy
Performance will be rigorously measured, monitored and enhanced against defined targets in three-yearly reviews. This will include comparing predicted stormwater outcomes with actual monitoring data to show areas for improvement as part of our adaptive management approach.
Reviews and reporting
The NCD requires commitment to ongoing engagement with mana whenua and iwi in the management of stormwater and water as well as other stakeholders in government, public, private and community sectors.
Reporting will be transparent. A full review of performance against objectives and requirements will take place every six years will be open for public input.
NDC 6-yearly review 2022
In 2022 Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters department undertook a comprehensive review of the regionwide stormwater network discharge consent against the objectives and requirements. The Review identified overall compliance with the consent and a number of recommendations for ongoing improvements.
This review incorporated feedback from mana whenua, the stormwater industry, local boards and community. The review was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the conditions of the Regionwide NDC and has been certified by Council's regulatory compliance department.
