Creating best practise
The NZTIWF Management Team comprises the President, the two Vice-Presidents, Executive Officer, treasurer, and the representatives of the trade waste officers, the liquid waste operators and industry. The Management team meets monthly with their focus on the day-to-day operation of the organisation.
Our goal to get Regulators, Territorial Authorities, Service Providers, and Industry around the same table to facilitate conversations that will balance industrial growth with Infrastructure requirements and environmental outcomes.
We take great pride in the fact that our uniquely diverse and representative group the ‘New Zealand Trade & Industrial Waters Forum’ (NZTIWF) is very deliberately by design a ‘forum’.
The fact that our Industrial Waters conference is a Forum means that everyone is encouraged to participate openly in the discussions regardless of their point of view, with the knowledge that they will be listened to respectfully.
