  % Discuss the following statement:
  %
  %   Councils often do not have the inclination to challenge an AEE,
  %   particularly if the development may bring benefits to the region. It
  %   therefore often falls to individuals or public interest groups to
  %   the thorn and challenge. \parencite[][pp. 110-111]{grinlinton}
  %
  % Your essay should consider the requirements for consultation in
  % preparing assessments of environmental effects (AEEs) under the RMA,
  % evidence supporting or refuting Grinlinton's statement and arrive at a
  % conclusion on whether you agree or disagree with the statement based
  % on the evidence you have identified.
  %
  % Illustrate your essay with practical examples. Use the maaterial you
  % have collected in your clippings file of current environmental issues
  % for this.

  - Consultation is not mandatory under the RMA, but is encouraged
  - results from consultation / mediation process are not binding
  - the majority of applications is not publicly notified (council survey)
  - there is a history of underestimating the size of the group of `directly affected' people
  

  - government wants to shift power from the local councils to national entity, at the expense of community consultation
