Can the chairperson confirm that once the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Bill has been disposed of by the committee, the committee will have an extremely light workload; if not, why not?
The Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Bill incorporates the biggest changes to the Resource Management Act in 20 years. The work on that bill will be completed by the committee, and considerable work is under way on processing the consideration of the bill. At the conclusion of that, we are conscious that we have a bill on phase 2 of the amendment of the Resource Management Act coming forward. The committee has one member’s bill, one private bill, and one local bill before it.
