We talk to Bridget Parham, Partner, and Wendy Embling, Senior Associate, both experienced RMA and Environment lawyers.

Learn how these changes might help solve New Zealand’s housing crisis, the controversy around these policies, and when we're likely to see building start under the new rules.

    The future of neighbourhoods in New Zealand

    The Future of Neighbourhoods in New Zealand: Insights into the Replacement of the RMA In this episode, environment and RMA partner Theresa Le Bas shares her insights into the New Zealand government's decision to replace the Resource Management Act (RMA) with three new Acts. One of these is the Natural and Built Environment Bill, which includes several changes that will affect both councils and residents. One of the changes removes protection for private views, meaning that neighbors can construct a development without considering its impact on a resident's view. Additionally, councils will no longer be able to consider adverse effects from social or emergency housing. While the government is attempting to prevent NIMBYism (Not In My Backyard) with these changes, experts believe it risks preventing the assessment of basic needs, such as adequate play space for children, management of crowding, and provision for personal safety and well-being. To learn more, listen to our latest episode below.

    Extreme Weather: Building resilience in a Changing Climate

    Our first episode of series 3: In your Neighbourhood, explores the topic of managed retreat as a way to protect vulnerable communities from climate change risks. As New Zealand recovers from the devastation caused by Cyclone Gabrielle, climate change and its potential impact on communities are increasingly pressing issues. The Government has released its first National Adaptation Plan, which covers how New Zealand will adapt to its most significant climate change risks. However, the NAP has faced criticism for its lack of practical action, particularly around managed retreat. Managed retreat, which involves abandoning at-risk residential areas, is one of the options for mitigating climate change risks in a number of communities throughout NZ, however the Government’s failure to properly address managed retreats costs and strategies in the NAP will make it harder for councils to future-proof their vulnerable communities. Tompkins Wake Senior Associate Jill Gregory sits down with Special Counsel Catherine Bryant to discuss the impact that climate change may have in your neighbourhood.
