Now we are in a position to look back, 2018 has been an eventful year for many aspects of New Zealand society - politics, resource management, and water have all had their share of challenges and changes. In this end-of-year newsletter we address:

• The Government’s proposed reform of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA); and
• Water quality reform proposals.

Most importantly, we wish all our readers a very merry Christmas and a happy, safe and relaxing summer break.  For ourselves, we are looking forward to BBQs, hopefully some sunshine, and happy times with family and friends!
