Hawke's Bay Regional Planning Committee Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill would establish a statutory body called the Hawke’s Bay Regional Planning Committee. The committee would be a joint one of the Hawke's Bay Regional Council and tangata whenua members and is intended to provide for 9 iwi or hapu groups to have input into the development and review of the regional policy statement and regional plans for the Hawke's Bay Regional Council region.
