2013 PUB BC Bill to speed urban development reported back - 13
June.pdf
The Resource Management Reform Bill, designed to speed
subdivision and regional infrastructure projects and to grease the
progress of the Auckland Unitary Plan, was reported back from
select committee on Tuesday and is expected to be passed before the
end of this year.
Most of the committee's proposed changes could be described
as procedural but some are more controversial and will be opposed
by Labour and the Greens.
Amendments to the Resource Management Act 1991
This Bill is very much a first instalment of the
Government's reform agenda for the RMA this term. A far more
radical and far-reaching Bill is currently being prepared for
presentation to the House later this year (see Chapman Tripp's
commentary
here).
