100: Management agencies

You could also call this:

"Who helps manage plans to keep New Zealand's environment safe and healthy?"

When a regional pathway management plan is made, a management agency must be chosen. This agency can be a department, a council, a territorial authority, or a body corporate. You need to think about which body is best to manage the plan.

The Minister or council must consider a few things when deciding which body to choose. They must think about who is paying for the plan and whether they are happy with the chosen body. They must also think about whether the people affected by the plan are happy with the chosen body. The Minister or council must consider whether the body has the skills and resources to manage the plan.

If the management agency resigns, goes into liquidation, or ceases to exist, the Minister or council must appoint a new agency as soon as possible. They must also tell the public about the new appointment. You can find more information about changes to this law in the Biosecurity Law Reform Act 2012.
