Significant changes are on the horizon with the Government's plan to replace the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) with two new pieces of legislation: the Planning Act and the Natural Environment Act (NEA).
This reform aims to create a clearer distinction between land-use planning and the management of the natural environment, while also prioritising private property rights and streamlining processes.
Join Sam Newton, Advocacy Manager, as he shares the RMA reform process so far, what has been proposed, and if or when it will be implemented.
He will answer the following questions:
How will the RMA replacement laws affect you and your organisation?
How will the reform process play out and how can you and your organisation share your feedback?
