New Zealand's Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) protects people and the environment. In achieving our mission, we understand the need to consider New Zealand’s ability to develop economically, culturally and socially. We do this by delivering robust, objective decisions on environmental matters, and ensuring compliance with rules.

We actively work with others to achieve good outcomes and recognise the unique relationship of Māori to the environment in our decision making.

EPA administers applications for major infrastructure projects of national significance, and regulates new organisms (plants, animals, GM organisms) and hazardous substances and chemicals. We also administer the Emissions Trading Scheme and New Zealand Emission Unit Register. We have responsibilities in relation to the Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf.
