The benefit factors under the benefit to New Zealand test have also been streamlined to seven broad factors rather than 21 specific factors. This is much simpler and allows investors to make a holistic case for their investment. The seven factors are: (1) the economic benefits, (2) the benefits to the natural environment, (3) public access, (4) protection of historic heritage, (5) advancing a significant Government policy, (6) oversight or participation by New Zealanders, and (7) consequential benefits. And finally the benefits to New Zealand will need to be proportionate to the size, scale, and nature of the investment, so conversion of highly productive farmland will be required to demonstrate proportionately higher benefits than conversions on land that is marginal or lower quality. Again, this helps us ensure overseas investment continues to benefit New Zealand. More broadly, we recently made other improvements to the Act, including introducing statutory time frames for decision makers to make decisions where there was previously no time frame, and repeated investors no longer needing to satisfy the investor test each time they apply for consent.
