Explanatory note
This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This order, which comes into force on 11 November 2022, amends the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Referred Projects Order 2020. The main effect of this order is to correct a minor error or omission that occurred when the referral order for the Hananui Aquaculture Project was made. In particular, the referral order did not give effect, as required by section 27(2) of the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020, to a decision that the Minister for the Environment and the Minister of Conservation made when they decided to refer the project to an expert consenting panel. That decision was to set a specific time frame for the panel to process resource consent applications and is given effect to by this order.
Date of notification in Gazette: 10 November 2022.
