Hon DAVID PARKER: The National Planning Framework will consolidate existing national direction under the RMA. Importantly, a new infrastructure and development chapter for the National Planning Framework is currently being developed. This work is being led by Te Waihanga, the Infrastructure Commission, in cooperation with the Ministry for the Environment and other agencies. It is expected to include standards by reference to things like sediment control. Applicants will be able to propose control standard 1, 2, or 3, and the council in its decision will specify which standard is to be applied. Neither the applicant nor the council will have to specify complex bespoke conditions, which they currently do, at enormous cost and time.
