Referred projects order
Schedule 53 to the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Referred Projects Order 2020 [New Zealand Legislation website]
The project will:
- help to achieve the purpose of the Act
- have positive effects on social well-being by generating employment and providing a diverse range of housing types, including terraced housing (which has the potential to be a lower-priced housing option)
- generate employment by providing approximately 164 direct full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs per year over a 5-year design, subdivision, and construction period, approximately 22 direct FTE jobs in sales and marketing over a 5-year period, and approximately 342 direct FTE jobs over a 6-year period while residential unit are being constructed
- increase housing supply through the provision of approximately 459 residential units (or approximately 354 residential units if a primary school is developed)
- 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.
