In 2009 he introduced the Unit Titles Bill,modernising the 1972 legislation that regulates the way apartment blocks and multi-unit developments are managed. [5] The Act came into force in April 2010. He also introduced the Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill to update existing rental laws and extend them to cover tenants in boarding houses not previously having protection. [6] The legislation was passed in 2010.
Following 'errors' found in his expense reports,he resigned all portfolio positions in February 2010. [7] He was reinstated to his ministerial portfolios the following month after a report which cleared him of any deliberate wrongdoing. [8]
In 2011 he imposed change to the way Housing New Zealand delivered state housing including introducing a 'reviewable tenancy' that put an end to a 70-year 'state house for life' principle. [9] A one-year suspension period to prevent anti-social tenants from reapplying for a state house,measures to prevent fraud and a commitment to insulate every state house and resource third sector providers of social housing also came into force.

Heatley's fisheries portfolio role was renamed from April 2010. As Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture,in 2010 Heatley introduced the Aquaculture Legislation Amendment Bill (No 3) to streamline consenting,help manage competing demand for coastal space,and to deliver on the Maori Commercial Aquaculture Settlement to iwi. [12] [13] The legislation was passed in 2011. Together with then Labour Minister,Kate Wilkinson,he initiated a Ministerial Inquiry into the operation of Foreign Charter Vessels (FCVs) in New Zealand's EEZ. [14] This followed allegations of the failure of some FCVs to provide for proper crew working conditions and vessel safety standards.

The inquiry was concluded in 2012 and the Fisheries (Foreign Charter Vessels and Other Matters) Bill was tabled later that year.
In December 2011 Heatley became Minister of Energy and Resources. In 2012 he introduced the Crown Minerals (Permitting and Crown Land) Bill amending the Crown Minerals Act 1991 to 'promote',not simply manage,exploration and production of oil,gas and mineral resources.

Amendments were also included in response to the report of the Royal Commission on the Pike River Coal Mine disaster. The legislation was passed in 2013. In February 2012,he introduced a new 'block offer' process for awarding oil and gas exploration permit areas across New Zealand,including in its EEZ. Blocks on offer are confirmed following consultation with iwi and local authorities and a competitive tender is undertaken to finally allocate permits. This replaced a 'priority in time' process.
