The aim of 'Our Region - Their Future' is to get ideas
and feedback so we can prepare the next Regional
Policy Statement.

The Regional Policy Statement for the Wellington
Region became operative in May 1995 and Greater
Wellington is now required to review it.

The review began with an assessment of the state
of the natural and physical resources in the region
and how well we have worked towards the objectives
in the Regional Policy Statement. The findings from
this work were reported in Greater Wellingtons state
of the environment report Measuring up 2005 .

'Our Region - Their Future' looks at each of the topics
covered in the Regional Policy Statement, the
success of the Regional Policy Statement as
reported in Measuring up 2005, and Greater
Wellingtons assessment of the issues now and into
the future. For each topic, a series of questions is
posed about whether the issues are the right ones
and how things should be managed.
