Jaspreet Boparai and Don Nicolson speak with entrepreneur Roger Beattie, who details his two-year ordeal navigating the bureaucratic maze of New Zealand’s Resource Management Act (RMA). Attempting to build a modest 47-square-metre eco-hut on his private coastal property at Wainui, Banks Peninsula, Beattie found himself mired in compliance requirements, including a costly penguin management plan for an area with no known penguins and a forced 7-metre relocation due to an “ephemeral stream”—a dry ditch. Despite sustainable practices like wool-based sediment traps, he faces an $8,000 bill from Christchurch City Council and the threat of debt collectors. This episode puts a spotlight on what the hosts call an erosion of property rights, calling for reform and urging others to speak out.
