Copper and zinc concentrations in Auckland urban streams indicate they may be contributors to degraded ecological health (Mills & Williamson 2008) but these are not currently included as attributes in the National Objectives Framework (NOF) of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014 (NPS-FM). This discussion paper summarises work undertaken towards developing copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) as Auckland-specific freshwater attributes for ecosystem health. Although the work is incomplete, Auckland Council recognises a need for the work undertaken to be publicly available to enable other organisations to use the information and proceed with the tasks identified as required for attribute development. This discussion paper therefore incorporates the analyses from the two phases of work, and outlines the further tasks required to develop copper and zinc attributes.
