There was strong support for the changes that we are making to the legislation on capital consents and considerable interest in the introduction of an improvement function.The key message that came out of the meetings with councils and was supported by the written responses was the need, at the very least, for a clear statement of intention, preferably some early decisions and, ideally, early action on the issues rehearsed in the document.We have listened to what has been said to us and we are keen to respond positively.
