46: Proposed national policy statement

You could also call this:

“A rule or plan that the government wants to make about how to use natural resources in New Zealand”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to talk about something called a ‘Proposed national policy statement’, but it’s no longer part of the Resource Management Act 1991. The government took it out on 19 April 2017. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 36 of the Resource Legislation Amendment Act 2017.
