RMA Needs Overhauling - Shirley
"The Resource Management Act is fundamentally flawed and needs overhauling", ACT New Zealand Environment and
Conservation Spokesman Ken Shirley told an audience in Hamilton today.
In a speech to the ACT Waikato regional conference, Mr Shirley said the RMA was beyond fine-tuning and tinkering, and
now required a fundamental re-examination of its framework, structure and premise.
"The RMA fails the basic requirement for all legislation to be sound in principle and incentive - it must be
overhauled," Mr Shirley said.
