The Government has introduced two new bills to Parliament that will replace the RMA with a new resource management system – the Planning Bill and the Natural Environment Bill. HortNZ will submit on these bills and appear before the Select Committee. Submissions are due on 13 February 2026.
HortNZ is hosting multiple online grower information sessions, where growers are welcome to meet with their team to discuss their submissions. Register here.
Session times:
