Management Proposals a Boost for Business
The Wellington Regional Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the proposed Resource Management Act reforms announced by the government today.
“The cost and uncertainty brought about by the RMA has been a real obstacle to business investment,” said Chamber CEO, Charles Finny.
“Streamlining the processes around obtaining resource consents will prove to be a real tonic for economic growth.
“Small businesses in particular can face crippling costs and delays under the RMA and today’s proposals will go along way towards reducing them.
“The prevention of frivolous, vexatious and anti-competitive objections to developments is particularly welcome as is the option for applicants to go directly to independent commissioners.
The Chamber will scrutinise the proposals in more detail and looks forward to making a submission on the Bill at the Select Committee stage,” Mr Finny concluded.
