Hon DAVID PARKER: The Government's investing $131.8 million in the design, enactment, and transition, which includes substantial progress to be made on implementation of the reforms through to 2024. In my view, the success of the new system and its ability to hit the ground running doesn't depend just on the new legislation but on proper implementation. The Government's commitment to properly fund the transition is really born of the lesson of why the RMA, which is essentially quite good legislation, did not perform as it was intended. After the 1991 Act was passed, the Environment Court wasn't properly funded. Plans and consents were held up for many years, which held up a lot of development. There were no standard forms of plans, no standard formats, and there was very little national direction; so there was too much uncertainty. National policies such as freshwater or urban development guidance was too little too late, and we're not going to make that same mistake. We intend to redraft the national planning framework to produce draft NBA and SPA plans and related maps as part of the transitional programme so that this hits the ground running once the legislation comes into effect.
