Lunch and Learn: Hot Topic, The Fast Track Approvals Bill
The stated purpose of the Fast-track Approvals Bill is "to provide a streamlined decision-making process to facilitate the delivery of infrastructure and development projects with significant regional or national benefits." What does the legislation say, and how will it affect your work?
Join EDNZ as Megan Couture, Senior Associate, Planning at Beca, provides an overview of the Bill and how it differs from the fast-track legislation New Zealand has seen to date. She will also discuss some of the critical issues and opportunities it may provide, particularly for economic developers. Of course, there will be an opportunity to get your questions answered.
