Schedule 49 to the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Referred Projects Order 2020 [New Zealand Legislation website]

Reasons for decision

The project will:

  • help to achieve the purpose of the Act
  • have positive effects on social well-being by generating employment and providing additional housing of a range of types in an area with a housing shortage
  • generate employment by providing approximately –
    • 617 direct full-time equivalent jobs over a 6-year construction period; or
    • 391 direct full-time equivalent jobs and 58 ongoing full-time equivalent jobs if a primary school, which is proposed to be established as a state-integrated school, is constructed
  • increase housing supply through the provision of up to 315 residential units (or up to 180 residential units if the primary school is constructed)
  • likely progress faster than would otherwise be the case under standard Resource Management Act 1991 consenting processes.

Any actual and potential effects on the environment, and proposed measures to avoid, remedy, mitigate, offset, or compensate for any adverse effects, can be appropriately tested by an expert consenting panel against Part 2 of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the purpose of the Act.
