Webinar | Navigating the RMA transition

September 15 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

The most significant shake-up of New Zealand’s planning system in a generation is coming. Are your projects, portfolios and development plans ready for it?

 

The Resource Management Act is on its way out, replaced by a new framework under the Planning Bill and Natural Environment Bill. For property professionals, that means new rules, new processes and new timeframes to plan around, starting sooner than many expect.

 

Join Senior Advocacy Advisor, Samantha Lay Yee and special guest Rachel Morgan, Director at Barker & Associates, for a practical, high-level briefing on what’s ahead. Rachel will unpack how the new system is expected to work, including the proposed ‘funnel’ approach, regional spatial plans, key transition timeframes and what implementation will actually look like on the ground.

 

We’ll also cover the transitional details that could catch you out, including the proposed freeze on private plan changes, changes to how consents are lodged and processed, and activities that may fall outside the new system altogether.

 

One hour. No jargon. Just a clear, practical steer on what’s changing and what you should be doing now to stay ahead of it.
