Part 6: Environmental outcomes reports Assessment and monitoring Section 155: Assessing and monitoring impact on outcomes etc. Effect
Subsection (1) provides powers to enable the appropriate authority to make regulations setting out how the delivery of specified environmental outcomes should be assessed or monitored.
	Subsection (2) makes provision for the appropriate authority to make regulations setting how any proposals assessed in the Environmental Outcomes Report should be assessed and monitored.
Example: Monitoring and dynamic mitigation
The appropriate authority will be able to make regulations that require action to be taken where monitoring shows that the expected delivery of a specified environmental outcome is not being met. For example, these regulations could mandate that certain mitigations are put in place where ongoing monitoring shows that a predicted effect has not been realised or unanticipated effects have arisen, resulting in a specified environmental outcome not being met.
	Subsection (3) enables requirements to be set to take action to i) increase the extent to which an environmental outcome is delivered, ii) mitigate or remedy the effects of an environmental outcome not being met to any extent or iii) compensate for an environmental outcome not being met to any extent.
