RMA Survey of Local Authorities

Every two years local authorities participate in a survey which examines key aspects of the Resource Management Act (RMA) process. The survey supplies core information about resource processes carried out under the RMA. The survey also provides a measure of comparative performance between local authorities.

The Ministry for the Environment has been surveying all New Zealand councils (regional, territorial and unitary) about their RMA processes since 1996. Eight surveys have been conducted in that period. See the time series graphs for information on how key information has changed over time.

Reports are available to read online or print out:

The next survey will cover the 2007/2008 year. Results will be available in 2009.
