Preliminary details of almost 150 projects for inclusion in the Government’s one-stop-shop Fast Track Approvals Bill (as Schedule 2) were released on Sunday 6 October.
In the statement released by Ministers Chris Bishop and Shane Jones it was noted that while an independent Advisory Group recommended a total of 342 projects for inclusion in the Bill, Cabinet chose to include only 149 of them to better reflect the capacity from expert panels to assess and consent these projects. Once the Bill is passed, project owners will be able to apply to the Environmental Protection Authority to have an expert panel assess the project and apply relevant conditions. The media statement yesterday noted that the Government is also recommending to the Environment Committee (at Parliament) that expert panels have the ability to decline approval for projects.
