Poll: Do you like the idea being able to pay more to get a quicker building consent?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

They might be about to go into battle for the right to rule Hamilton, but Sarah Thomson and Tim Macindoe were the picture of co-operation and civility in giving city developers a helping hand.

And itโ€™s a consensus that could prove profitable for the Hamilton City Council in more ways than one, with the possibility of selling intellectual property - in the form of a working two-tier building consents process - to other councils for use as a template.

Do you like the idea being able to pay more to get a quicker building consent? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
