-  The New Zealand Resource Management Act (RMA, 1991) is possibly the
-  most far reaching piece of sustainability legislation enacted by any
-  country. EA is incorporated as an integral part of an effects-based
-  approach to sustainability. It operates within the statutory planning
-  and consent system rather than as a separate procedure, applies
-  explicitly to projects and is indirectly specified for policy
-  statements and strategic plans which local authorities are required to
-  prepare to guide and implement sustainable resource
-  management. Application at this level is variable and, overall, it is

-  The Resource Management Act (1991) consolidates policy planning,
-  assessment, and regulatory functions previously exercised
-  separately. It provides a comprehensive framework with a single
-  purpose of promoting “the sustainable management of natural and
-  physical resources” (Section 5). A hierarchy of national and regional
-  policy statements and regional and district plans form the cornerstone
-  for implementing the Act.
