This statement of reasons is published for the purposes of clause 4 of Schedule 3 of the Act The Minister for the Environment and the Minister of Conservation have accepted this application for referral.
The Ministers considered the application against the cri‐ teria in the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020 (the Act) and the 194 Version as at 6 July 2023 COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Referred Projects Order 2020 Schedule 45 Act’s purpose, and sought and considered written comments from the relevant Minis‐ ters, the Southland Regional Council, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Maritime New Zea‐ land, and the Southland regional harbourmaster.
The Ministers have accepted this application for the following reasons: • • • • • • • the project will help to achieve the purpose of the Act: the project will have positive effects on social well-being by providing oppor‐ tunities for year-round employment that will assist in sustaining the Stewart Island/Rakiura and Bluff communities: in years 1 to 5, the project will generate approximately 50 to 180 direct full- time equivalent jobs associated with farm construction, monitoring, farm man‐ agement, harvesting, and processing: when the farm reaches full production, the project will generate approximately 500 full-time equivalent jobs associated with marine farming and processing: the project will provide opportunities to build an economic base and provide for food security, economic development, and employment for local Māori people: the project is likely to progress faster than would otherwise be the case under the Resource Management Act 1991 standard processes: any actual and potential effects on the environment, and proposed measures to avoid, remedy, mitigate, offset, or compensate for any adverse effects, can be appropriately tested by an expert consenting panel against Part 2 of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the purpose of the Act.
The Ministers have decided that, due to the project’s scale and complexity, a longer time frame is required for an expert consenting panel to process a resource consent application relating to the project than the time frame that would otherwise apply under clause 37 of Schedule 6 of the Act.
