The Ministry for the Environment would like to thank all councils for participating in the survey. We appreciate that some councils were dealing with changes to their information management systems including databases at the time of the survey. Other councils faced resource issues at the time the survey was due. The Ministry appreciates the time and effort that councils put into completing the Resource Management Act: Two-yearly Survey of Local Authorities 2003/2004.

The Ministry would also like to thank a number of external peer reviewers who contributed to the production of this report. We would like to acknowledge the efforts of John Engel (Environment Southland), Keith Hovell (Gore District Council), Kirsty Ferguson (Greater Wellington Regional Council) and Suzette Vanaswegen (Kaikoura District Council).
