A second lot of changes to the Resource Management Act has been announced.  

It follows the first, which will cut regulation for winter grazing, fresh water, and coal mining. 

RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking his latest announcements are more about the act's underlying architecture. 

He says he's talking about quick wins around renewable energy, housing, and the way we deal with hazards and long-lived infrastructure. 

It includes making renewable electricity consents easier and demands council 30-year housing plans.
