The project will:
- help to achieve the purpose of the Act
- have positive effects on social well-being by providing more user-friendly and fit-for-purpose justice facilities
- enable approximately:
- 177 full-time equivalent jobs over a 4- to 5-year design and construction period
- 40 full-time equivalent permanent jobs after that period ends
- likely progress faster than would otherwise be the case under the Resource Management Act 1991 standard processes.
