In January this year the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment put out a think piece entitled ‘Rethinking the RMA: the need for enduring reform’. This questioned whether the RMA had failed, commented on the role of local government, argued that the environment needs to be at the centre of any reform and promoted a cross party approach.

In another year where RM reform will dominate a lot of our professional discussions, the Wellington branches of the RMLA and NZPI have invited Rebecca Thornley from the PCE’s office to speak to us about this think piece.

Rebecca is the General Counsel for the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment. Rebecca is a public law expert, with extensive experience in law reform, having provided legal support to various public service agencies including NZDF, Public Service Commission, DPMC and the Crown Law Office.
