29074 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister responsible for RMA Reform: Has the Minister sought any assurance, if any, that companies with projects on the Fast-Track list are financially stable and capable of carrying out the proposed works?

Hon Chris Bishop: No. Officials assessed against the criteria in the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024. These did not include financial disclosures, as a company’s financial position can change over time. Financial assessments are not required under existing consenting regimes.
