Environment Minister David Parker has released the first draft of the proposed Natural and Built Environments Act that will replace the Resource Management Act 1991.
He says the release of an exposure draft through a select committee inquiry is a way to test and improve the contents of the Bill before it goes into the formal Parliamentary process.
A second select committee process will be held when the full Bill is introduced to Parliament in early in 2022.
Mr Parker says stronger recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Te Ao Māori are important considerations within the proposed Act.
