Assessment Guide for Hazardous Facilities

March 2000, Ref. ME339

The Assessment Guide for Hazardous Facilities was prepared in response to a workshop and survey of territorial local authorities carried out by the Auckland Regional Council in 1997. It established that more than 90% of participating councils rated guidance on how to assess hazardous facilities for resource consent purposes as a very high priority.
