Submit!

The Local Government and Environment Committee has called for submissions on the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Bill. Two copies, by Friday, 3 April 2009, to

Committee Secretariat
Local Government and Environment
Parliament Buildings
Wellington

The bill would effectively gut the RMA, reducing democratic input, control, and accountability. It will mean that you have less say over development in your local community. So its probably a good idea to speak out now, because you might not get a chance to again.

If you haven't submitted on legislation before, there's a handy guide here [PDF]; its as simple as writing a letter saying what you think of the law and why.
