Resource Management (Aquaculture Moratorium) Amendment Bill

As Reported from the Primary Production Committee

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Government of New Zealand

Creation date: 2002

The purpose of the moratorium the bill creates is to:

prevent a rush of applications that would pre-empt defining Aquaculture Management Areas (AMAs). These are zones designed specifically for aquaculture in each region:

provide an opportunity for councils and central government to properly identify AMAs.

The moratorium period will allow councils, whose plans do not provide strong policies and defined areas for aquaculture, to begin developing these without the risk of there being a significant number of applications that would pre-empt and complicate that process.
