The Government Has Released The First Draft Of One Of The
Proposed Laws Meant To Replace The 30-year-old Resource
Management Act.
The “exposure draft” of the
Natural and Built Environments Bill discusses mandatory
environmental limits for a “minimum acceptable state” or
a “maximum amount of harm” that can be caused to the

They symbolise the relationship between the council and Massey University, and in particular, the Bachelor of Resource and Environmental Planning Programme.
