Government Proposal on Schedule 4
Energy and Resources Minister Gerry Brownlee and Conservation Minister Kate Wilkinson today released a discussion paper containing a suite of measures to facilitate the environmentally responsible development of New Zealand’s extensive mineral estate.
The Ministers said a preliminary Government stocktake of land in Schedule Four of the Crown Minerals Act (where all mining other than minimum impact activity is prohibited), and other areas beyond, reached four conclusions:
1. New Zealand is mineral rich and the environmentally responsible development of this potential is a very real possibility;
2. Much of the country’s mineral potential is concentrated, often in public conservation areas with high conservation and cultural values;
3. The mineral potential of Schedule Four lands could be developed with only a very small proportion of the land being directly impacted; and
4. Information on New Zealand’s mineral potential is limited and Government has a role to improve our knowledge of the mineral estate.
