Summary of the session:

The government is currently reforming NZ’s Resource Management Act. One important aspect of those reforms is heritage policy. This seminar will explore how New Zealand’s current built heritage policies are working in practice, examine the problems with the current system, discuss the underlying drivers of the problems and, using a comparative institutional framework, identify a potential path way forward that better aligns incentives with desired outcomes.
