National adaptation plan and emissions reduction plan: Resource Management Act 1991 guidance note

Archived October 2026

This guidance note was published in 2022 and has been archived because aspects of it relate to policy settings and planning frameworks that have subsequently changed, including the publication of the National Policy Statement for Natural Hazards (NPS-NH) and the conclusion of the first emissions reduction plan.

For current guidance on natural hazard risk management, users should refer to the relevant statutory framework, including the NPS-NH, alongside current Ministry guidance and resources.
