With Central Government replacing the Resource Management Act (RMA) the public now have a chance to submit on their replacements.

To have your say, you need to stay a step ahead.

If you are interested in submitting on the Natural Environment/Planning  Bills then these links might be of interest.

Submissions need to be in by the 4:30pm, 13th of Feb 2026.

These are done online and sent directly to Central Government. So not through the UHCC.
