Changes have been made to national direction under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) to help the resource management system work more effectively.
The changes to the National Environmental Standards for Commercial Forestry (NES-CF) are designed to make requirements clearer and more consistent across New Zealand, reduce unnecessary cost and uncertainty for forestry owners and operators, and focus efforts on higher-risk situations to manage environmental risk.
