Brookers Resource Management Precedents brings together the tools and documents needed by anyone who is an active participant in New Zealand’s resource management process.

The regime established by the Management Act 1991 is complex. Brookers Resource Management Precedents is designed to provide not only the necessary forms and precedents, but guidance through the required actions and processes to achieve a desired outcome.

The information is authored and maintained by experienced resource management practitioners. Precedents are altered and reviewed where there are changes to the law or to accepted practices. Extensive linking within the product means easy navigation from commentary or analysis of required activities to the actual forms and precedents required.
