Rules Review Implementation Project
The Director of Civil Aviation accepted the Scholtens Report completed in 2002, and all of its recommendations, which have given rise to the development of the new rule development process. The Rules Review Implementation (RRI) Project was established to implement the Scholtens Report recommendations and to deliver a vastly improved and revised rule-making structure for use in all future rules development projects. The RRI Project has now been completed.
For details regarding the report submitted by the independent reviewer, see the Scholtens Report.
Any questions or comments on any aspect of the completed RRI Project can be directed to the Manager Rules Development, Chris Lamain, email: lamainc@caa.govt.nz.

Remaining work-in-progress
There are three remaining project deliveries (Project 6, 15 & 17) that are currently being undertaken as a “work-in-progress”. See Milestone Chart. Project 6 will be completed when the consultation on the current draft guidelines on risk management has been agreed with the aviation community. The completion of Project 15 requires the MoT Planning Task Force to complete a Transport Sector Strategic Directions document in readiness for release by the Minister. For Project 17, the MoT has established an inter-agency working party to develop a Funding Guideline for use in the 2006/2007 financial year.
