New Zealand is overhauling its environmental laws to speed renewable energy and housing projects, cutting consents by 46% and boosting investment, despite environmental concerns.
New Zealand is replacing the 1991 Resource Management Act with the Planning Act and Natural Environment Act to fast-track renewable energy and housing development.
The overhaul centralizes planning, cuts consents by 46%, and aims to unlock over $4.3 billion in renewable projects while easing housing shortages.
Business groups support the reduced delays and costs, but environmental advocates warn the reforms weaken safeguards and permit more pollution.
The government says community input will continue, with full implementation set for 2026.
