There has been no lack of rhetoric promoting the new resource management legislation in New Zealand as innovative and world leading. At the same time, there appears to be (particularly in government circles) a marked reluctance to fully operationalize the complex concepts embodied in the Resource Management Act 1991. There has been a deliberate withdrawal from confronting some of the more radical and progressive notions contained within the Act in favour of a narrowly circumscribed, effects‐based interpretation of the legislation founded on neoliberal ideology. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. and ERP Environment
