Note: In addition to the requests relating to Schedule E, the document within the above link is a provisional determination. This provisional determination is not a decision within the meaning of the Resource Management Act and is not therefore an appealable decision. This provisional determination is intended to provide a statement of the current thinking of the Biodiversity & Heritage Hearing Panel (referred to as either Biodiversity & Heritage Hearing Panel or Panel) to enable other Hearing Panels, officers and submitters to understand the likely form of the provisions related to biodiversity and heritage of Chapters 7 and 12 and Schedule E so as to enable an integrated planning instrument at the conclusion of the entire hearing process.
