The Regulatory Impact Analysis Team (RIAT) has reviewed this Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) and considers it to contain the required information and accurately reflect the analysis undertaken.
RIAT considers the RIA to be adequate in relation to most of the proposals in the policy package, though the timeframe for its development has limited the scope for full consultation on all aspects of the package. However, this has been mitigated by the long-standing consultation and discussion that has occurred on many of the issues, as well as the targeted consultation that has been undertaken within the available time.
However, RIAT considers the RIA in relation to some aspects of package, including proposals to address anti-competitive use of RMA provisions and the change to when rules in a proposed plan have legal effect, to be inadequate as these proposals were developed extremely late in the process and were not able to be subject to appropriate analysis and consultation.
