Federated Farmers is welcoming proposed changes to the Resource Management Act.
The Government's released three discussion documents proposing amending 12 current national directions and four new ones.
They include changes to freshwater management, regulation of farming practices and revising mine consent processes.
Mark Hooper, their RMA Spokesperson, told Mike Hosking that while the guidelines are complex and there鈥檚 a lot to wade through, the intent here is very much to get a simpler and better outcome.
The rewritten Resource Management Act isn鈥檛 expected to come until next year, so he says the intent of this release is to hopefully provide a bit more guidance and certainty for local authorities, so they can get on with their planning.
