Rural subdivisions on the Christchurch periphery: Population pressure and the greenbelt: A dissertation in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Honours Degree of Resource Studies at Lincoln University

The controversial subdivision of the greenbelt in Christchurch must continue in a regulated way. The Resource Management Act having replaced previous inefficient legislation enhances and facilitates subdivision. Public apprehension should be addressed by local authorities improving public awareness of the RMA and its power to represent them.
