  • Summary

  • What's being described as "ancient" infrastructure legislation is in for a shake-up.

    The Government's pitching changes to the Public Works Act to speed up acquiring land for major projects, including premium payments to private landowners.

    The Environment Court will no longer hear objections, but instead relevant authorities like the Minister for Land Information.

    Infrastructure New Zealand Policy Director Michelle McCormick told Andrew Dickens removing the Environment Court is a big improvement.

    She says we all know how over-loaded the court is.

    McCormick says it's good to take a fresh look at how the process could be improved, to ensure we're getting the infrastructure we need faster.
