The Government's scrapping the Resource Management Act and replacing it with new planning laws. RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop says current rules make it too hard to build the infrastructure and houses New Zealand desperately needs. He says Cabinet's agreed on a blueprint for reform, which will standardise zoning and remove differences for each local council – aiming to implement it before councils start their 2027 long-term plans. He claims the replacement RMA will cut admin and compliance costs by 45 percent. Mt Hobson Group Director Hamish Firth told Kerre Woodham he's expecting a much more liberal planning system – one that presumes land use will be permitted unless it significantly affects other people's property rights.

This week's guest is Rob Haddock the recently retired Group Director of Planning & Logistics at Coca-Cola North America.  In his retirement, Rob has started a new firm (Albedo Logistics), begun consulting projects on the side, and written a book!  I asked Rob to join me on the Freightvine to discuss his book, titled, Transportation Adventures of a Food Shipper: A Shipper's Guide to Truckload Transportation - The Sapient Shipper Adventures.  Rob has distilled his almost 40 years of experience in the freight trucking and supply chain  industry and instilled it into his book.  In our conversation, we talked about how transportation executives should communicate up to their C-suite, the importance of having intellectual curiosity and willingness to ‘break things', and the need for an organizational ‘plan on a page' to act as a north star to guide strategy and actions.  Rob also discussed how he believes that Artificial Intelligence is akin to Iron Man's AI equipped suit, J.A.R.V.I.S., in that it can make an executive or manager be better and smarter at their job.  Not as a replacement.

There are pleas for the Government not to scrap the first-home buyers grant.  Newshub is reporting the Government plans to redirect the $60 million allocated to help first-home buyers and put the money into social housing.  The scheme gives buyers between $5,000 and $10,000 towards their first home if they earn under a certain threshold, and property experts say dissolving it would be a bad move.  Whitestone Group Director Shaneel Singh told Mike Hosking that many of his clients need the grant.  He says a number first home buyers wouldn't be able to get on the property ladder without it.  In the year to February 2024, nearly 25,000 first homes were purchased. In that time, 10,500 first-home grants were paid out, meaning that 42% of first-home buyers did so with the help of the grant.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
