Resource Management (Freshwater and (Other Matters) Amendments Bill w/ Greenpeace Aotearoa Freshwater Campaigner, Will Appelbe: 18th June, 2024.

The Coalition government is making amendments to the Resource management act 1991 through the resource management (freshwater and other matters) amendments bill. This includes changes to stock exclusion and intensive winter grazing regulations.

An OIA request shows that DoC advised against these amendments, specifically the removal of key freshwater protections.

Producer Elle spoke to Greenpeace Aotearoa Freshwater campaigner, Will Appelbe, about their response to the proposed changes. She began by asking what the amendments to the resource management act 1991 are.
