EnquireIntroduction to the Resource Management Act
Local government has responsibilities for regional / local planning under the Resource Management Act (RMA). This five-hour course provides an overview of the framework of the RMA at a national, regional and local level. Using examples, case studies and scenarios we will canvass a wide range of topics including the purpose and principles of the RMA, developing regional and district plans, the processes for resource consents, hearings and decision making, monitoring and enforcement. This course will be invaluable for elected members wanting to become accredited planning commissioners who will be undertaking the Ministry for the Environment “Making Good Decisions” course.
