Canterbury Regional Council, NZ reduce foul odours pilot

In Progress

Canterbury Regional Council launched a pilot project to reduce foul odours with the Smelt-it app. The Council is encouraging residents to report any noticeable odours with the app to help locate the source. After receiving a report the Council investigates nearby businesses, monitors wind patterns, and conducts an independent assessment in the area. The goal is to prevent odours from reaching past the boundaries of business operations and negatively impacting residents.
