support the implementation of national direction in a consistent manner across plans. For example, a planning standard could support a more consistent application of the National Policy Statement for Electricity Transmission in district plans provide plan content that does not need much variation across districts and regions. For example, utility operators and some council representatives have been working on a potential future standard chapter for utilities provisions standardise an area of technical dispute. For example, the method to identify outstanding natural features and landscapes rapidly spread planning best practice across RMA plans. While the draft first set of planning standards does not include these types of planning standards, we are interested in understanding which topics should be investigated for possible inclusion in future planning standards. We can consider these as part of MfE’s future work programme. Questions to consider for your submission: Q1: What are your thoughts on this proposed package of planning standards? If you consider changes necessary, how would these affect the anticipated outcomes? Q2: What topics or matters should be investigated for future planning standards?
