Subject: RMA Bill
Dear Ann, Elizabeth and Judith
The proposed revisions to the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) allow for the setting up of a central commission to over-ride environment court and local council decisions. That includes decisions about heritage.
On Thursday 21 March 2013 at 7pm in the Burns Hall, a quickly assembled group of people will hold a public meeting to discuss our concerns and encourage submissions on the revised RMA and reforms to water management.
As the submission date is 2 April that doesn’t give us much time.
I would be grateful if you could alert your networks to the provisions in the proposed Bill as they affect heritage.
Best wishes
Jocelyn

Another meeting to explain RMA changes
By Debbie Porteous
Another public meeting has been called in Dunedin to explain the possible local impact of the proposed changes to the Resource Management Act. Organiser Emeritus Prof Jocelyn Harris, co-chairwoman of Sustainable Dunedin, said the group felt it was necessary to have the Thursday evening meeting to help inform people about what was proposed as there were significant changes hidden in the documentation.
The RMA was a critical piece of legislation that helped communities manage what was allowed to happen in both the natural and built environment, and changes to it would affect everyone, Prof Harris said.
