Natural and Built Environment (NBE) Bill

Summary: 

Overall, The Salvation Army is supportive of this Bill and the ongoing efforts to reform the resource management law in our country. This submission will focus on specific aspects of Bill, including the workings of the National Planning Framework (NPF) and the associated levels of planning, and the importance of the local community’s voice within this massive system of land use, infrastructure, and urban growth. Additionally, we try to keep at the core of our submission consideration of the poorer people and whanau that The Salvation Army serves nationally, many of whom are homeless, or living in emergency, transitional or social housing. Therefore, given the massive size of the NBE Bill, our submission will only comment on specific aspects of this Bill.
