The Community Guide to Landscape Protection under the Resource Management Act 1991

This Guide has been written for people who want to know more about landscape protection under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). It provides information for those who would like to obtain better protection for landscapes which they value. It also provides information for people preparing resource consent applications (under the RMA) for proposals which may impact on landscape values. The Guide focuses on the protection of landscapes on privately-owned land in rural areas. It does not address the protection of landscapes in urban areas.
