New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) and KiwiRail holdings are being permitted to carry out repair, maintenance, and minor upgrade works to their existing infrastructure within the road and rail corridor. The bill sets out which activities can be undertaken and standards which must be met when carrying out those works. These provisions will enable NZTA and KiwiRail to start work on their existing assets quickly after the bill is enacted, reducing the lead-in time to get routine projects started and getting people across New Zealand working on this large number of smaller jobs. The bill also enables Government agencies Kāinga Ora and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, as well as local government, to access these track three provisions if confirmed through an Order in Council. Again, all actions under this legislation must be consistent with both the principles of the Treaty and Treaty settlements. This aligns with the Crown's obligations under the Treaty. Applications for the fast-track processes must include information on the impact of the project on Māori and on Treaty settlements. Iwi authorities will have the ability to nominate a member to each expert consenting panel for projects within their areas of interest, and panels will be required to seek comments from iwi on all projects referred to them for consideration.
