This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Fast-track Approvals Bill

Preliminary provisions

3: Purpose

You could also call this:

“This law explains why we want to build big, helpful things more quickly”

This act aims to make it easier to build important projects that help regions or the whole country. These projects can be things like new roads, buildings, or other big developments. The law wants to speed up the process of getting these projects approved and built. This is because these projects can bring good things to many people, either in a specific area or across all of New Zealand.
