This is the basic law course about the management of the environment. The course addresses the purpose and principles of the RMA and general duties about resources and activities, the functions and powers of central and local government, the standards, policy statements and plans used to manage resources, and appeals to the Environment Court, which operates as a specialised court in environmental matters. Although the RMA has an important part in the course, there is a large and growing body of case law. This is reflected in the course materials. The maximum length is 2,500 words.
Examination is 'open book'.
