New Zealand passes a Bill to extend resource consents for marine farms by up to 20 years, providing stability and simplifying the consent process.
New Zealand's aquaculture industry gains stability with the Coalition Government's passing of a Bill to extend current resource consents for marine farms by up to 20 years. This aims to remove a significant burden on the industry, providing certainty for the future of marine farms. The Bill will simplify the resource consent process, allowing marine farmers to invest more in improvements, new technology, species and practices to become more productive and sustainable, with around 1,200 marine farms requiring resource consents to operate.
