      Abstract
      Much has been made of compliance costs to business and the need to process consents hastily in relation to the Resource Management Act in New Zealand. This obsession with compliance misses the fundamental

      problem of implementing the RMA — shortcomings in governance. This address will shed some light on this pervasive problem, first by

      characterizing RMA within the theoretical range of national mandates, then dealing

      in turn with governance issues at each level in the intergovernmental hierarchy of

      partnerships established by RMA and LGA. It concludes with brief mention of long term

      council community planning, because it too is at risk if governance is not

      improved.
