Improving our resource management system: A discussion document

2 April 2013

From the Commissioner's comment

In this country of ours, we have a wonderful natural environment that is renowned globally for its diversity and uniqueness.  It is fundamental to how we see ourselves as New Zealanders. And a large part of our economy is built on our environmental credentials – we market ourselves internationally as ‘clean and green’.

For over twenty years the Resource Management Act has been the primary means for protecting our environment.
