What are the environmental laws in New Zealand relevant to small business?
Answer
Environmental regulations affecting small businesses in New Zealand stem from both local and national levels. These laws might relate to waste management, emissions, water use, and hazardous materials handling. The Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) is a key national legislation, but specific regulations can vary based on industry and locality. Ensuring sustainable practices, obtaining necessary permits, and regular environmental impact assessments are vital. Our environmental law experts can offer tailored guidance for small businesses.
