The Government is calling for feedback on proposals to change and inform development of national direction under the resource management system. Submissions are invited on proposals to update national direction for infrastructure, development and the primary sector and on options to amend freshwater national direction, and test how housing proposals could fit into the new resource management system.
Consultation packages
Package 1: Infrastructure and development
The Government aims to make it easier for councils to plan and deliver infrastructure by making four new national direction instruments and amending four existing national direction instruments.
Package 2: Primary sector
The Government aims to enable growth in the primary sector by making changes to eight existing national direction instruments.
The proposals to prepare and amend national direction in Packages 1 and 2 are being consulted on under section 46A of the Resource Management Act. They are grouped for ease of reading and to help understand where instruments deal with similar matters.
Package 3: Freshwater
The Government is seeking feedback on options to amend freshwater national direction to better reflect the interests of all water users, and on whether changes should be implemented under the existing RMA or under new resource management legislation. Further consultation will be undertaken, later this year, through a more detailed exposure draft of the proposed freshwater national direction.
The Ministry for the Evironment is running online webinars on Package 1, 2 and 3 and to answer questions.
Webinar – Package 1: Infrastructure and development. Intended for a general audience.
The purpose of this webinar is to provide an overview of the RMA National Direction Work Programme and to inform of the proposed changes to national direction instruments related to infrastructure and development. Information will also be provided on the consultation and engagement process and how to make submissions.
