This paper sets out the Government’s approach to reforming New Zealand’s freshwater management system.
Further information on reforming New Zealand’s freshwater management system can be found at www.mfe.govt.nz.
The Government is seeking your views and welcomes your ideas and opinions on the overall direction of the reforms. In particular, the Government is keen to hear what you think about the elements that require amendment to the Resource Management Act 1991. This is your opportunity to comment before the Government introduces the 2013 Resource Management Reform Bill later this year.
Further consultation will be provided on detailed elements of the longer-term reforms once they have been developed.
