NZALPA has now lodged its
submission on the Civil Aviation Bill
exposure draft.
The Bill replaces the Civil Aviation
Act 1990 and the Airport Authorities
Act 1966 with a single new statute
that includes proposals to update
and improve the safety, security
and efficiency of the New Zealand
civil aviation system. This is one of,
if not the most, important pieces of
legislation in New Zealand in terms of
civil aviation.
An exposure draft is used by
government to identify and resolve
practical problems with changes
to legislation before it is made or
introduced to Parliament. It can be
particularly helpful for complex or
technical regulatory requirements, such
as those in civil aviation regulation.
NZALPA met with Transport Minister
Phil Twyford as well as Ministry of
Transport officials in the lead up to
the publication of the exposure draft.
