Consenting protocol

As part of the MOU Waka Kotahi and DOC also have an agreed protocol for both agencies to engage on Resource Management Act (RMA) processes. Part of the protocol requests early (pre-RMA) engagement between both organisations on Waka Kotahi projects. This requires engagement during project development.
