Proposed government agency cost recovery rates for Fast-track Approval applications: for feedback

We have been approached by the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) as they think RMLA members' might be interested in proposed government agency rates for recovering its costs associated with Fast-track Approvals processing. MfE is coordinating this on behalf other central government agencies and Crown Entities that will be involved in the Fast-track Approvals process (FTA).  

This follows earlier targeted engagement that took place in October on the proposed FTA application fees (downpayments), levy rates, and financial contribution amounts to be made to certain Māori groups.  

As the next phase of this work, MfE are now seeking feedback on each of the agencies' proposed rates (outlined in slides 7-17 below). Each agency can set their own actual and reasonable rates, which will contribute to the total overall fee charged to applicants.

For those interested, we would appreciate it if you could take a minute to fill out the short survey below to tell MfE what you think the appropriate rates are. Please complete before midday Friday 13 December to that we can collate and forward to MfE early the following week.
