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 replaces the Resource Management Act 1991, working in tandem with the Natural Environment Bill.MP in charge

Committee of whole House
The House considers the bill in detail, questions the MP in charge, and may make changes.
A "sitting day" can last more than one day when the House is in urgency or an extended sitting. In this case, all business is officially recorded as happening on the date the sitting started (the sitting date), even if the actual date (the calendar date) is different. Find out more.
