Four years just to approve a quarry? Fast Track my arse.

Mia Carter2026-07-20T04:25:00.000Z

my point, mate. 'Fast' in name only.

Must be nice to have that kind of cash to throw at a consent process. Must be even nicer to get it approved.

Jack Morrison2026-07-20T05:05:00.000Z

lol cope. You'll be the first to complain when you can't get gravel for your driveway.

Rowan Blake2026-07-20T04:51:00.000Z

So the system works for the rich. Colour me shocked.

Better this than importing crushed rock from overseas. Local jobs, local materials.

Meanwhile my deck extension took 18 months for a building consent. What a joke.

Stuff2026-07-20T05:57:00.000Z

nah but your deck isn't 'nationally significant' apparently. Only if you're building a quarry.

Jordan Bell2026-07-20T06:01:00.000Z

Fast Track should be for community projects not private profits. This country is a joke.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-20T06:50:00.000Z

doesn't make it right. We need reform, not exceptions.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-20T06:06:00.000Z

If it took four years and cost millions, that's not a success story. That's a shambles.

hope the trucks don't wreck the roads again, last time was a nightmare through Wainui

Ella Thompson2026-07-20T06:48:00.000Z

ffs, do you even know how much it costs to fix a road after those trucks? rates will go up again
