Submission on the Fast Track
Approvals Bill

June 2024

A small working group of passionate KiC members have come together to articulate a highly detailed submission on the controversial Fast Track Approvals Bill. The process included two rounds of open feedback from membership, with some excellent points being recognised and integrated into the final submission.

Members drew on their expertise in science, economics, business and policy to contribute to this submission, and express our network’s concerns on the bill’s democratic legitimacy, the risks it poses to the economic and environmental future of Aotearoa New Zealand, as well as key recommendations for remedying these risks.
