We have been providing updates on the various national
regulations and policy documents that are currently open for
consultation. However, things are changing each day and many
priorities have shifted as we deal with the impacts of COVID-19. As
a result, your teams may be necessarily more focused on response
and recovery than on business as usual at this time.
To assist, the Ministry for the Environment has extended the
consultation timeframes for the proposed National Environmental
Standards for the Outdoor Storage of Tyres
(NES-OST) and proposed amendments to the National
Environmental Standards for Air Quality (NES-AQ).
In addition, the Ministry of Transport has extended the
consultation timeframe for the draft Government Policy Statement on
Land Transport for 2021/22 – 2030/31 (GPS
2021).
