新西兰的快速法案加快了超市的批准速度,以缩短延误、刺激竞争和降低价格。 New Zealand’s Fast-track Bill speeds supermarket approvals to cut delays, boost competition, and lower prices.

新西兰提出了《快速批准修正案法案》,以加快超市的批准,减少长达数年的拖延,促进竞争,降低杂货价格。 New Zealand has introduced the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Bill to speed up supermarket approvals, cutting years-long delays to boost competition and lower grocery prices. 该法案允许符合资格的项目——特别是新的进入者和代表人数不足的形式,如上层中心——绕过当地同意程序,并由部长任命的专家小组审查,有可能将批准时间减少6周。 The bill allows qualifying projects—especially new entrants and underrepresented formats like supercentres—to bypass local consent processes and be reviewed by a minister-appointed expert panel, potentially reducing approval times by up to six weeks. 项目必须与新的《政府政策声明》保持一致,新的《政府政策声明》侧重于服务不足地区,特别是在区域和农村社区。 Projects must align with a new Government Policy Statement focused on serving underserved areas, particularly in regional and rural communities. 改革的目的是打破限制区划和审批缓慢的壁垒,支持新的市场进入,改善消费者选择。 The change aims to break down barriers from restrictive zoning and slow approvals, supporting new market entrants and improving consumer choice. 该法案包括对现有规则的技术修正,将由环境特设委员会在11月6日一读后进行审查,目标是在年底前通过。 The bill, which includes technical corrections to existing rules, will be reviewed by the Environment Select Committee after its first reading on 6 November, with a goal of passing before year-end. 根据现行制度,四个项目已经获得同意,另有24个项目正在进行中。 Four projects have already received consent under the current system, and 24 more are in progress.
