There's expectations fast-tracked projects will kick in next year. 

The controversial Fast Track Approvals Bill passed its final reading in the House last night - despite heated protest in the public gallery and from Opposition MPs. 

It's being characterised as a one-stop shop, facilitating consents for large-scale development, infrastructure, and mining.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop says people can apply from February - and he's certain many will start right away. 

"We've got to get the expert panel set up as quickly as possible, so we're doing that work over the next six to eight weeks."
