Clean fresh air is an important and valued feature of Taranaki’s quality of life.
Air quality in Taranaki is generally excellent - due to Taranaki’s windy and exposed nature, its dispersed population, the absence of heavy industry and low vehicle numbers.
The Council has a comprehensive programme for monitoring all air discharge consents. And over recent years the Council has worked with major consent holders to promote significant upgrades in emission controls or production processes. This has greatly reduced emissions to air.
The Council also carries out ambient air quality monitoring as part of its State of the Environment monitoring activities. This shows that Taranaki air quality compares extremely well with national guidelines and other parts of New Zealand.
