One year on, Fast-track is building NZ’s future

One year on from the Fast-track approvals system opening for business, New Zealand is already benefiting from faster approvals, lower costs, and real infrastructure getting underway, RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop and Regional Development Minister Shane Jones say.

“Fast-track was set up to fix a problem New Zealanders know all too well. Important projects were stuck for years in delay, buried in bureaucracy, with costs spiralling and communities missing out,” Mr Bishop says.

“Twelve months on, the results speak for themselves. Fast-track is fixing the basics of how we approve infrastructure, and building the foundations for New Zealand’s future growth.”
