It's believed new RMA planning systems will relieve at least 50% of unnecessary work from councils.  

The Government is putting a halt on council planning work before the new RMA planning system comes into force. 

It's also moving to force councils to focus on core services and may move to cap future rates increases. 

RMA Advisory Group Chair Janette Campbell told Heather du Plessis Allan councils will still remain very busy. 

She says it鈥檚 going to be a big job to get ready for and impliment the new system, and councils will not be twiddling their thumbs.
