Resource Management Journal November 2024 issue

As we wrap up 2024, our final RM Journal edition of the year offers a treasure trove of insights and ideas —perfect for exploration as we approach the holiday season and the year’s end. We are delighted to present a wonderfully diverse group of contributors, including planners, lawyers, economists, law students, technical experts, and His Honour Chief Environment Court Judge Kirkpatrick, all of whom have generously shared their expertise and perspectives.

This edition centres on one theme: reform. It’s been a year marked by intense discussions and submissions on the future of our Resource Management System. These conversations have been shaped by the work that preceded the Natural Built Environment Act 2023, which was repealed in December 2023.
