The chairperson of the Environment Committee is now calling for submissions on the Fast-track Approvals Bill, with a submission closing date of Friday 19th April.

NZPI will be preparing a submission. We’ll be carefully considering the Bill in coming weeks, particularly where it will impact on current practices under the RMA. Our team don’t work in isolation and continue to appreciate feedback from members: email your thoughts and ideas to rmreform@planning.org.nz. We encourage members to register today to attend our upcoming webinar this Friday 15th March; An Overview of the Fast Track Consenting Bill, hosted by our Principal Policy Advisor Emily Grace.
