1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Right now, though, let's get to the rim, so Arima

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: is out. We have replacements to new laws coming in,

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: one based on planning, the others actually based on the environment.

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: The idea is you will have the number of consents

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: and permits that are required, and you'll speed up the

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: ones that are still in the pipeline. Government reckons we

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: will save thirteen billion bucks in admin and compliance costs

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: over the next thirty years. Property Council Chief executively. Only

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Freeman's with me tonight, Heyyoni Cure, what's your first impressions

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: of this.

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: We're pleased with the direction of where the government's going

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 2: with this. We're hoping that it will. You know, the

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: reduction of one hundred plans down to seventeen will provide

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: a lot more consistency. The idea is it will be

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: a lot simpler. Reducing the number of consents will only

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: help speed up the process and also reduce costs. And

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, with the two acts,

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: it will make clearer the environmental priorities, but the same

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: time provide clarity on development so that we protect the

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: environment while we house Kiwis and I think that's the

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: key outcome. We're looking for will.

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: We the consumers see cheaper you know, will I see

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: a cheaper house?

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question. It's all going to be

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: and how it's implemented. I mean, there is the potential

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: to do that because consenting costs are a big part

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: of house costs, so yes, possibly, but also there's a

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: whole lot of other things that have got to go

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: with this, And it's still going to be a while

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: until it's you know, because we've still got to go

31
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: through the consultation process. The bill's got to be passed,

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: and then it's going to be a while until it's implemented.

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: But that is the objective.

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: It would be great, would be wouldn't it? What about

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: this problem with building in areas or getting developments done

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: in areas where there aren't there isn't the infrastructure under

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: the ground.

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: So infrastructure is always you know, the development can't occur

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: until the infrastructure is there. So this, you know, the

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: bills were there are focusing on that sort of bigger

41
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: perspective development, but infrastructure is a key bit that needs

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: to be put in place before and the government was

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: introducing some new or updating its Finance and Funding Act

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: today and The idea is to try and find some

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: alternative ways to help support counsels to fund the infrastructure.

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,600
