RMA national direction consultation closing soon 

The Government’s consultation on Resource Management Act (RMA) national direction instruments, which will ultimately affect farmers through regional council plans and other rules, is closing at 11.59pm this Sunday, 27 July. If you want to make your own submission, be sure to send it before consultation closes. B+LNZ is making a submission, informed by farmer feedback, which we’ll publish next week. More info about the consultation on our dedicated webpage here
