the project will provide specialist and local employment opportunities in Otago, a region particularly impacted by the downturn in tourism caused by COVID-19; and
the project will provide additional housing supply and aged-care facilities; and
the project will progress faster than would otherwise be the case under the Resource Management Act 1991 standard processes.
