Tavendale & Partners On Farm Legal | Senior Associate Johanna King on New Zealand's RMA Reforms

On Farm Legal with Tavendale + Partners

Show Notes

The RMA reforms are the biggest shake-up of New Zealand's planning laws in a generation. The Select Committee was due to report back on the changes made following the submissions process on 26 June, but that's now been pushed back until the end of July.

In this week's On Farm Legal series, we chew the fat with Senior Associate, Johanna King, about the biggest criticisms of the Natural Environment Bill and the Planning Bill, what they could mean for farmers, and what's on the wish list for the Select Committee before the reforms are finalised
