A glimpse of what we might expect from the long-awaited Resource Management Act (RMA) Phase Two reforms is now available with the release last week of the report from the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on sections 6 and 7 of the RMA.

This Brief Counsel provides a quick overview of the TAG's recommendations.

The TAG was appointed to:

"...provide independent advice to the Minister for the Environment on any changes needed to section 6 and 7 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) to improve the functioning of the RMA, relative to 20 years' practical experience of its operations; the Government's environmental and economic objectives; and the broader second phase of resource management reforms." ¹
