Simon Court: ACT MP and Under-secretary for RMA reform and Infrastructure discusses scrapping of Resource Management Act

The Resource Management Act is officially bound for the scrapheap.

The Government's replacing the hefty legislation with two new laws - one based around planning, and the other on the environment.

ACT MP and Under-secretary for RMA reform and Infrastructure Simon Court told Matt and Tyler that the government is focusing on simplifying the process for councils and Kiwis to get consents on building projects.

'you want to do some land development, you want to do some clearing, as long as you follow these standards, you won't have to ask for consent'
