Environmental Defence Society Strikes Procedural Fast-Track Win
Press Release – Environmental Defence Society The EPAs previous approach meant that it was sitting on application documentation for weeks without the public knowing. Thats precious time that interested parties can now use to review a projects technical information. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), the administrating agency of the Fast-Track Approvals Act, has accepted the Environmental Defence Society's (EDS) contention that it has not been lawfully applying the Act. The EPA's concession comes after EDS's Barrister Rob Enright wrote to the EPA asserting that the Fast-Track Approvals Act required the EPA to publicly release all information provided to it without delay. Previously, the EPA only published application information once it was deemed complete and within scope. As the EPA stated in its reply to EDS: 'As you are aware the EPA had taken a position that the Fast Track Approvals Act 2024 does not require the publication of incomplete applications. Following your correspondence we have reviewed our position, and agree that, on balance, the documents you have listed must be published by the EPA.' 'This U-turn by the EPA is a significant win that will provide greater transparency in the implementation of a law that is otherwise stacked against public involvement,' said EDS's Chief Operating Officer Shay Schlaepfer. 'The EPA's previous approach meant that it was sitting on application documentation for weeks without the public knowing. That's precious time that interested parties can now use to review a project's technical information. 'This is hugely important given the pace at which applications proceed through the fast-track process and the potentially life-changing impacts of projects on people and the natural environment. Parties need as much time as possible to assess their interest in individual projects and to prepare their cases, including briefing experts and engaging legal counsel. 'We are pleased that the EPA has accepted our position on this occasion and praise its prompt rectification of the issue. 'We now expect to see application documentation published on the website when it is first lodged with the EPA. That should include an application's full Assessment of Environmental Effects. As the EPA accepted in its response to us '[t]he Act does contain a positive duty to act promptly where no time limit has been set and establishes a duty for the EPA to avoid delay as far as reasonably practicable.' 'Despite the fast-track law being largely inhospitable to the principles of natural justice, EDS continues to investigate ways in which it can be implemented to best serve the public interest. Where they exist, we will find them,' concluded Ms Schlaepfer. EDS has published a plain-English peer-reviewed guide of the Fast-track Approvals Act which is freely available at

Employment Law Overhaul Leaves Kiwi Firms Racing To Catch Up
Press Release – Employment Hero Over the past quarter employers have told us they simply cant stay ahead of the rule changes. The law is becoming clearer, but the admin load for businesses will spike before it settles. New Zealand's long-awaited clean-up of employment rules – covering the Holidays Act, personal grievance procedures and health-and-safety red tape – is the exact reset many business owners asked for. Simpler leave calculations, clearer misconduct thresholds and less paperwork for low-risk workplaces should cut compliance costs and reduce courtroom flashpoints; yet the speed and breadth of the changes are rattling HR teams,' says Sanam Ahmadzadeh Salmani, Employment Hero's compliance lead for New Zealand. Payroll specialists still wrestling with the current Holidays Act now have to map rosters, leave accruals and variable-pay calculations onto a brand-new hours-based model. Front-line managers worry that the tougher, faster personal-grievance process could expose gaps in their documentation and directors are digesting fresh safety duties that have arrived just as minimum-wage and migrant-visa settings shift again. 'Over the past quarter employers have told us they simply can't stay ahead of the rule changes. The reforms are positive, but without tech to do the heavy lifting – live payroll recalculations, templated contracts and real-time alerts – many SMEs will burn hours they don't have or risk expensive slip-ups,' believes Salmani. Tech is the new safety net Modern employment-operating systems (eOS) now bundle payroll, leave tracking and compliance 'copilots' into one dashboard. When Parliament tweaks a formula, the engine updates entitlements overnight; if a misconduct claim lands, employers can call on an on-call HR adviser and access the right template in minutes – no separate legal retainer required. 'It's like having a virtual in-house counsel and payroll guru 24/7,' says Salmani. 'That level of foresight isn't a nice-to-have any more; it's table stakes,' she adds. The law is becoming clearer, but the admin load for businesses will spike before it settles. We can expect a surge in demand for cloud HR platforms, on-tap advisory services and plain-English guidance because while the legislation may simplify, staying compliant won't be a DIY job for long.
