This report is an update of our previous work on “Community Investment in Environmental Improvements” completed in 2002” (project reference #4179). The report quantifies the investments made by the broad Taranaki community in improvements to the environment, as well as the annual costs of making and maintaining these improvements.

The scope and the method used in this project remains the same as the previous project. Estimates of expenditure were obtained by a postal and email survey of main industries and district councils, supplemented by information from the Taranaki Regional Council (TRC)’s annual reports and plans of the district councils. We verified and extended key information with field visits.
