Spatial Planning 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 provides for the development and implementation of long-term, strategic spatial planning across New Zealand through the development of regional spatial strategies.MP in charge
