Webinar: Update on Environmental Law Reform
This presentation will be of key interest to all involved in the plantation forestry sector. Chris Fowler will provide an update on significant environmental law reforms occurring under the new Coalition Government. The presentation will cover the Government’s road map for RMA reform and provide an overview of freshwater and indigenous biodiversity reforms underway or forecasted to occur. Time permitting, Chris will also provide an update on the vexed relationship between the NES-CF and regional/district planning instruments.
Chris can fairly be described as an environmental law expert that specialises in the forestry sector. He has worked with the forestry sector for the past 18 years across a wide range of resource management and environmental issues.
Chris and his team typically assist foresters throughout New Zealand before local authorities, the Environment Court and occasionally the High Court across these areas:
• Resource management policy – changes to national, regional and district planning instruments;
• Securing planning approvals - resource consent applications, certificates of compliance, and existing use rights, and
• Compliance and enforcement issues – investigations and prosecutions by local authorities.
