Literature Review on Dust Regulation and Quarry Management Best Practices

Environment Canterbury made a commitment in the Long-Term Plan 2021-31 to tackle the ongoing concerns of residents with dust in Greater Christchurch. A series of co-design workshops were held between October and December 2021. A proposed course of action was developed, which included undertaking a literature review, to include land use planning, quarrying good management practice and regulatory best practice.

Environment Canterbury is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Supplier to undertake the literature review referred to above. The purpose of the literature review is to outline best practice for the regulation of activities that may discharge dust, and the management of environmental effects of dust emissions from quarrying, drawing on national and international examples.

We wish to understand more about the international state of knowledge on quarry management and what this means for Canterbury. This is an invitation for suitably qualified Suppliers to submit a tender to undertake the literature review. The methodology for undertaking the literature review will be confirmed with the appointed Supplier, through the Request for Quote.

However, the review should be designed to answer the questions set out in the attached Scope of Work.
