With increasing pressure on resource use, Marlborough District Council's regulatory functions are subject to greater interest from resource users and the wider community. This policy is intended to provide a clear understanding of Marlborough District Council's management of compliance and enforcement of the Resource Management Act.
The policy sets out the purpose and principles by which we promote and enforce compliance with the Resource Management Act.
