The projects chosen will, overall, support the transition to a low-emissions economy and improve resilience to climate change. The bill lists 12 named projects that will progress first and have a high certainty of being approved. These include water storage, housing, cycleway, rail upgrade, and roading projects. These are located across the country, from Kaikohe to Queenstown. Projects listed specifically in the legislation will be referred directly by Parliament to the expert consenting panel for decisions and to set any conditions.
