Resource Management (Consenting and Other System Changes) Amendment Bill

The need for resource management reform is something that nearly all New Zealand politicians, local and central, can agree on. The current system fails to both adequately protect the environment and enable the development we need to, amongst other things, improve productivity and build the housing that Kiwis need.

We are pleased to submit on the Resource Management (Consenting and Other System Changes) Amendment bill. This is a targeted package of interim reforms that are designed both to make the RMA more workable as replacement legislation is developed, and to be carried over into the new system once legislative change is complete. Given these changes are likely to be long-term fixtures of the resource management system in this country, it is especially important that we get them right.
