Whakarāpopototanga / Executive summary
Central government is undertaking large legislative, policy and national plan reforms, reviews and development over the next few years and these changes will have an impact upon our climate change response actions into the future.
This agenda item will provide an update on legislative change progress and impacts for the council climate change work programme.
Staff will give a verbal update on aspects of the reforms.
1. Updates will be brought to future Climate Change Working party meetings as reforms progress.
Background/Tuhinga
Central government legislative, policy and national plan reforms, reviews and development are underway concurrently. Attachment 1 outlines the timing and progress of these reforms and updates in comparison to each other while impacting on local government. These include:
o Local Government Statutory Planning and reporting
o Future for LG Review
o Three Waters Reform
o Resource Management Act Amendments and Reform
o Climate Change Reform and ETS updates
o Emergency Management modernisation
o Waste minimisation strategy
o Health and Disability Reforms
Modernising the Emergency Management Framework
The Civil Defence Emergency Management Act (CDEM) 2002 has been in place for the last 20 years. Through learning from several emergency responses in New Zealand over the last five years and recommendations from an independent Technical Advisory Group regarding reforms of the wider emergency management sector, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) are undertaking a review of the CDEM Act 2002, National CDEM Plan and the National Disaster Resilience Strategy under the trifecta programme.
The timing of the trifecta review has been extended beyond the timeframe outlined in Attachment 1 due to feedback from the wider emergency management sector. Additional time to adequately contribute to the consultation is required as workloads are still high under current emergency responses especially the long response to COVID, floods and wildfires. The Minister of Emergency Management has delayed the draft Emergency Management (EM) Bill introduction to the House until late 2022. Key changes indicated are to the participation of Tangata whenua in the EM sector, and clarity of EM roles and responsibilities, managing risk and enabling and empowering and supporting community resilience.
There are implications for critical infrastructure, Māori engagement and hazard reduction programmes from these reforms into the climate change work programmes.
Other legislation and national policy work is moving fast, hence Tom FitzGerald, Manager Climate Change, will provide a verbal update at the meeting to avoid any written report being out of date.
