Hamish Firth: Mt Hobson Group Urban Planning Specialist on the Government amending the fast-track system
from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB
An expert says planning laws often need to be tweaked after they've passed. The Housing Minister will announce details of amendments to the fast-track system later this morning after multiple council complaints about fast-tracked housing developments. Mt Hobson Group Urban Planning Specialist Hamish Firth says the fast-track system was well intentioned and has helped build things like new quarries. But he told Mike Hosking it's a system which needs to shift. Firth suggests they might not have expected so many housing developments to be included.
