Our environmental protection Act would be rules-based to give landowners and developers of infrastructure and homes certainty and confidence. ACT's environmental protection Act would focus only on those environmental issues not already covered by other schemes. We wouldn't waste time talking about climate change in our environmental protection Act; it's already covered by the emissions trading scheme. If we wish to get more New Zealanders into safe and affordable homes, we must end irrational planning restrictions. ACT's repeal of the RMA would not only accelerate housebuilding; it would also allow faster infrastructure development.
