This report covers the Niue component of a project involving used oil audits in  selected Pacific Island countries.  The objective of the audits is to establish volumes of lubricating, hydraulic and transmission oils imported annually into each country and the volumes of used oil produced, stored or otherwise disposed.  The work has been carried out by the Secretariat of the Pacifc Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), with funding provided by the Global Environment Facility.  Most of the information required for the audit was obtained with in country visit's undertaken by Dr. David Haynes, Esther Richards and Scott Willson. 

Waste management issues in Niue are governed under general environmental and public health legislation. There is no specific legislation for waste management. Given the lack of natural water sources on the island, another important piece of legislation relevant to preventing water pollution is the Water Act 2012.
