Resource Legislation Amendment Act in Practice Roadshow
The Resource Legislation Amendment Act 2017 (RLAA) is the most comprehensive and controversial package of reforms to the RMA since its inception 26 years ago.
It represents the Government’s second phase of reform of the Resource Management Act (RMA) containing close to 40 amendments and making significant changes to five different Acts.
How does this translate into sound resource management practice?
Derek Nolan QC (barrister, Bankside Chambers), Martin Willliams (barrister, Shakespeare Chambers), and James Gardner-Hopkins (barrister, Woodward St Chambers) walk a clear path through the latest reforms and their implications for practitioners, enabling you to walk away with a concrete understanding of:
- New procedural principles, Council functions, and transitional provisions
- National direction, national planning standards, and expanded regulation making powers
- Collaborative and ‘streamlined’ plan preparation processes
- Iwi participation arrangements / Mana Whakahono a Rohe
- Changes to consenting processes (notification tests, fast track applications, residential activity and subdivision)
- Changes to Environment Court powers and procedures.
