In November 2022, the Government introduced the Natural and Built Environments Act and the Strategic Planning Act into Parliament. This is the first stage of the proposed reform of the resource management system. The Bills are expected to be passed by mid-2023 and we will adjust our plans to reflect the final legislation.
We are planning the next stages of the reform journey with the development of the National Planning Framework. It will comprise a single, cohesive and coherent body of national regulation to direct regional planning committees to prepare regional spatial strategies and Natural and Built Environment plans and local authorities to undertake consenting in the new resource management system.
The first National Planning Framework is intended to provide high-level direction for regional planning committees to support strategic direction and identification of natural hazards at the regional level and consideration of strategic opportunities to improve resilience.
This document has been produced to help guide the discussions with local government.
