G'day,
Peters suggests again removing “meaningless Maori preference” from the RMA
What gives planners and councillors power to dictate how cities grow (or don’t) is a piece of law called the Resource Management Act, or RMA.
It is the same Act giving young planners total power over what every land-owner in the country can do on their own land.
At the very heart of the Act too are anti-concepts like “kaitiakitanga” and “waahi tapu” that helps make iwi “guardians” of land they no longer own; provision for so-called “iwi planning documents” for land iwi argue they once controlled; and the insistence that when you do anything more aggressive on your land than mowing your lawn you “shall take into account the principles of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi.”
The RMA has been “reformed” many times – flaccid tinkering each time that has changed nothing of value.
