Minister for the Environment, Hon Dr Nick Smith and the
Environmental Defence Society at the launch of a new
research paper by Raewyn Peart entitled 'Improving
Environmental Governance: the role of an Environmental

ideas, the government's Technical Advisory Group on the RMA

role and governance arrangements of EPAs around the world
and recommends a preferred outcome for New
Zealand.
