Urgent changes to system through first RMA Amendment Bill

The coalition Government is delivering on its commitment to improve resource management laws and give greater certainty to consent applicants, with a Bill to amend the Resource Management Act (RMA) expected to be introduced to Parliament next month.

RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop has today outlined the first RMA Amendment Bill which will make urgent changes to the resource management system.

"RM Bill 1 focuses on targeted changes that can take effect quickly and give certainty to councils and consent applicants, while new legislation to replace the RMA is developed,” Mr Bishop says.

Creditor applies to put Auckland country club owner into liquidation

Plans to redevelop a north Auckland golf course and country club have hit yet another snag, with an investor seemingly looking to pull out their money as challenges mount.

An application was made by a creditor to the High Court to put the owner of the Gulf Harbour Country Club, Long River Investments, into liquidation.

It was made by Inovagen Limited, which lists itself as a property investor with the Companies Office.

The court was to hear the application on April 24, but that is understood to have been delayed to May 16 at the request of Long River.
