Friday 29 March is Good Friday, so instead of protesting against Fonterror at Midland Park we will be chowing down on hot cross buns with our respective families.
Make a submission against the Fast-track Approvals Bill – more submission guides added (13/4/24)
The New Zealand Government has introduced a Fast-Track Approvals Bill in Parliament, which threatens to undermine the vital process of public consultation on large-scale infrastructure projects and resource consents.
The Bill grants unchecked authority to a select group of Ministers, while limiting input from experts, Tangata Whenua, advocacy organisations, and the public.
It would strip away the mandate for adequate public consultation on projects such as:
- intensive barns
- winter grazing
- fish farms
- marine developments and
- dairy intensification.
Learn more about the bill on the Greenpeace website.
Please consider making a submission to fight this bill. Submissions close on Friday 19 April.
