Introduction
Learn the various ways New Zealand's coastline is managed.Resource management system reform
In August 2023, Parliament passed new laws to replace the Resource Management Act 1991.
Shifting to the new resource management system will take up to 10 years. During this time old and new system will continue to apply and run in parallel. We will continue to update these pages as changes happen.
For information about the reforms, visit the Ministry for the Environment’s website.
