Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for the Environment): The Government is repealing and replacing the Resource Management Act (RMA) during this parliamentary term, primarily, with two Acts. The Strategic Planning Act, the SPA, will integrate the other legislation relevant to development and require long-term regional spatial strategies. The Act will integrate functions under the RMA, the Local Government Act, the Land Transport Management Act, and the Climate Change Response Act to enable clearer and more efficient decision-making and private sector investment. The Natural and Built Environments Act, the NBA, will provide for land use and environmental regulation. An exposure draft of the core parts of that bill is due to be sent to the Environment Committee in the coming weeks.
