New Zealand’s Resource Management Act, 1991, greatly altered the legal basis of planning practice in that country. In some respects its provisions represented dramatic change from what had gone before. The New Zealand Ministry for the Environment self-consciously sought through the Act to take a leading role globally in moving towards a sound basis for sustainable development. As other planning systems come under increasing scrutiny elsewhere in the world, this legislation from a small country in the southern hemisphere deserves attention.
