Overseas Investment Act 2005

Consent and conditions regime - Procedure for making an application for consent and for granting consent

25B: Automatic conditions: every overseas investment

You could also call this:

"Rules that apply to every overseas investment in New Zealand"

When you get consent for an overseas investment, there are conditions that apply. You must make sure the information you give to the regulator or Minister is correct at the time you provide it. You also have to follow the plans and promises you made when you applied for consent, unless there's a good reason you can't.

You have to comply with these conditions, even if they are not written in the consent. If you don't follow these conditions, you might not be doing what you are supposed to do. The regulator will let you know what plans and promises they took into account when they granted consent.

If you are a consent holder, you must follow the representations and plans you made or submitted to support your application. The regulator will tell you what these are, and you have to comply with them unless you have a reasonable excuse not to. This is all part of getting consent for an overseas investment, as outlined in the Overseas Investment Act 2005, which was amended by the Overseas Investment Amendment Act 2018.
