Strategically Important Infrastructure on Sensitive Land
Strategically important infrastructure on sensitive land is a factor under section 28(h) of the Overseas Investment Regulations 2005 used in assessing an overseas investment's benefit to New Zealand. This factor asks whether the overseas investment will, or is likely to, assist New Zealand to maintain control of strategically important infrastructure on sensitive land.
Report
If this factor applies the OIO requires a report detailing how the overseas investment will, or is likely to, assist New Zealand to maintain control of strategically important infrastructure on sensitive land.
The report should detail:
- whether the investment constitutes "infrastructure" and if so, whether it would be considered "strategically important"
- if the overseas investment is infrastructure that is strategically important infrastructure:
- the level of New Zealand control, and
- how the overseas investment will maintain that level of New Zealand control.
