Environment & Resource Management Law

The Environment and Resource Management Committee monitors legal developments at both central and local government level concerning environmental law and resource management law. The Committee is comprised of practitioners working in both the public and private sectors and liaises closely with a wide range of stakeholders in the environmental and resource management space including the Environment Court, the Ministry for the Environment, and Auckland City Council.

With a focus on the workability, efficiency and effectiveness of environment and resource management law and practice, the Committee aims to contribute to the improvement and reform of legislation, as well as the support and improvement of our legal institutions.
