List of Fast-track Approvals Bill projects

The Fast-track Approvals Bill project list is a list of the 149 projects seeking approval through the Fast-track Approvals Bill in New Zealand.

The list of projects to be included in the Bill was released publicly on 6 October 2024. The list includes 44 housing developments, 7 aquaculture and farming projects, 43 infrastructure projects, 22 renewable energy projects, and 11 mining and quarrying projects. The locations of some projects were unspecified, such as the Waikato-based 'Green Steel' project to recycle shredded steel. The list included some projects, such as Trans-Tasman Resources' proposed sea bed mining project, and the Waitaha Hydro Project, that had been previously rejected due to their likely adverse environmental effects.

On 31 October the Auditor-General announced that he would conduct an enquiry into how conflicts of interest were identified and handled in the project selection process. Radio New Zealand reported that "companies and shareholders associated with 12 projects gave more than $500,000 in political donations to National, ACT and New Zealand First".
