Smith Stuart; Simmonds Penny; Brooking RachelSTUART SMITH (National—Kaikōura): Thank you. I'd like to turn to—I've been waiting that long I've forgotten now—clause 24. Subclause (2) states that the regional planning committee must have particular regard to the following to the extent relevant to the regional spatial strategy:"—and it goes and lists a number of things—(a) the Government policy statements listed in Schedule 3; (b) any statement of regional environmental outcomes or statement of community outcomes that is provided to the committee within the period specified in subsection (2A); and (c) any planning document that is—(i) "recognised by an iwi authority or a group that represents hapū;" and it goes on to a number of others.But I don't see anything there about Forest & Bird. I don't see anything there about tramping clubs or the Deerstalkers Association or other interested environmental groups—just simply iwi or hapū. Now why is that list incomplete? If you're going to have a list at all why is it not complete? Because all those people have interests in land and in spaces and how they might be used. It seems to me that that's an omission. Perhaps that's a Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) an urgent SOP that's needed. So I'm interested to hear what you have to say about that Minister.PENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): Thank you Madam Chair. I'm coming into this late and I apologise if I am not quite getting the right place in the legislation in the bill but I wonder if the Minister could help me. I've had an email from a constituent today and it's about an area that I've been very passionate in—the aquaculture developments in Southland. The email informs me that there was a disappointing decision from the Environmental Protection Authority expert panel today on an application from Ngāi Tahu for deep-sea salmon farming. Of course a lot of work has been done in Southland around the potential of turning aquaculture into a billion-dollar industry in Southland and they have unfortunately been turned down with this application. The comment is that we need specific aquaculture legislation because the changes in the bills that we are considering are going to take probably 10 years to be brought into reality and they are still clunky and time-consuming.Minister I wonder if you can give me some assurances—and in fact assurances for Ngāi Tahu and those in Southland who were looking forward to being able to develop an aquaculture industry—as to just how this is going to be made possible through the bills before us.Hon RACHEL BROOKING (Associate Minister for the Environment): Well I would note first of all to that member Penny Simmonds that we are just considering one bill at the moment and we are considering Part 2 of that and we've already considered the Natural and Built Environment Bill which does have more to say on aquaculture. I acknowledge the issue that she is talking about with a different hat on really but for this bill—the regulatory framework is in the other bill; this is the larger spatial scale which of course can look at the coastal marine environment. Yeah but I think it's safest not to talk too much about that now given it's the other bill.Going back to Stuart Smith's question when he was looking at the different instruments that are to be considered at clause 24 and he asked about other organisations. In Schedule 4 at clause 1(3)(g)—this is the identification of relevant matters and specifically the "non-governmental organisations with an interest in the content of the strategy or its implementation" including community or environmental groups or interests or industry or development sectors are included at that point."
