Otago Air Quality Strategy Innovative Strategic Approaches

In 2023, ORC started to review its Air Plan to bring it in line with the current regulatory frameworks and management practices, including the National Environmental Standards for Air Quality 2004 (NESAQ). ORC’s Long-Term Plan 2021-2031 commits ORC to notifying the next generation Air Plan by June 2025. This RFP is for a review of the 2018 Air Quality Strategy needs to occur alongside this so that the correct balance of regulatory and non-regulatory methods is adopted to maximise our chances of minimising air quality-related impacts on human health by achieving and exceeding the NESAQ.
