Significant Government Policy or Strategy
Significant government policy or strategy is a factor under section 28(f) of the Overseas Investment Regulations 2005 used in assessing an overseas investment's benefit to New Zealand. This factor requires that an investment support a significant government policy or strategy, for example, the government's biodiversity strategy, carbon credit policy, protection of endangered species and provision of public walkways.
Report
If this factor applies the OIO requires a report detailing how the investment will support the government policy or strategy.
The report should detail:
- identify the government policy or strategy that the investment will support
- provide copies of policy documents, statements and publications that evidence the significance of the policy or strategy, and
- detail how the investment will support the policy or strategy.
