Fast-track Approvals Act 2024

Fast-track approvals process - Other provisions relating to approvals

96: Status of approval when granted

You could also call this:

“Fast-track approvals work like regular approvals and follow specific rules”

When you get an approval under this law, it works just like an approval you would get under the normal laws. It lasts for as long as it says and follows the rules it comes with.

There are different types of approvals you can get. Each type has its own special rules. These rules tell you exactly how the approval works. For example, if you get a resource consent, there are specific rules about how it works. If you get permission to do something in a national park, there are different rules for that.

The law lists out all the different types of approvals and tells you where to find the rules for each one. This includes things like changing land use, doing archaeology work, or getting permission to fish in certain areas.

Each approval type has its own section in the law where you can find out more about how it works. This helps make sure that even though you’re getting a fast-track approval, it still follows all the right rules for what you want to do.
