A Regulation for ambient air quality in New Zealand was promulgated in September
2004, as a National Environmental Standard (NES) under s43 of the Resource Management
Act 1991. The NES specifies health-based limits for ambient air concentrations of fine
particulate (PM10). The Regulation also specifies requirements for monitoring of this pollutant by Regional Councils, in the event that
the standard is breached. In the case of Rotorua the standard is regularly breached.
A key element of this control regime is the designation of “airsheds” under subclause14 of
the Regulation. These are to be specified by the Minister for the Environment by a notice in
the Gazette. The term “airsheds” is only loosely defined in the Regulation, and it has since
been suggested that the term Local Air Management Area (LAMA) gives a better indication
of the function and purpose of these areas |
