    The Overseas Investment Bill Amendment bill has past its first reading

    The Overseas Investment Bill Amendment bill has past its first reading


    The bill will speed up overseas investment decisions to within 15 days, unless investors applied to residential land, farmland, fishing quotas, or made applications contrary to national interest.

    It also includes changes to Land Information New Zealand consents, and updates the Ministerial Directive Letter providing guidance on which assets need more scrutiny.
