2. Submit a resource consent application to Council
You’ll need to pull together all the information we need to consider your application under the relevant legislation. If you’ve had a pre-application meeting, this process will help you pull together the information we discussed for your particular situation; if your project is more straightforward and didn’t need a pre-application meeting, this process will also help you with what you’ll need to include.
You, or someone representing your project (your builder, architect, surveyor or planning consultant), must complete one of:
- a land use resource consent application form
- subdivision resource consent application form
- request for deemed permitted boundary activity form.
You’ll then need to email it to the Council's Resource Consents team – [email protected]. You’ll also need to pay the appropriate fee.
Resource consent applications take 20 working days to process, provided all the necessary information is included and your proposed project does not need to be notified.
Natural and Built Environment Act 2023
The Natural and Built Environment Act 2023 was repealed in December 2023 by the Resource Management (Natural and Built Environment and Spatial Planning Repeal and Interim Fast-track Consenting) Bill, with the exception of some interim fast-track consenting provisions.
