Resource management fees

Last updated: 1 July 2022

Resource management fees are payable when:

  • you apply to the Kāpiti Coast District Council to undertake an activity which is not otherwise permitted by the Resource Management Act 1991 or the district plan
  • you lodge a request to change the district plan (commonly known as a “private plan change”).

Resource management fees are also payable for a range of other activities as set out at the end of this section.

Resource management fees are set under Section 36 of the Resource Management Act 1991. Initial deposit fees are set under section 36(1) and must be paid before we start processing your application or request. Further charges will be incurred if additional time is spent processing the application or request, or if disbursement costs are incurred, which are over and above the allocated time provisions (see “Hourly Charge Out Rates and Disbursements”).

If any charge for an application or request is not paid by the due date, Kāpiti Coast District Council reserves the right under Section 36AAB(2) of the Resource Management Act 1991 to stop processing the application or request. This may include the cancellation of a hearing or the issuing of a decision. If a hearing is cancelled or postponed due to the non-payment of a charge, the applicant or requestor will be charged for any costs that may arise from that cancellation or postponement.

Please also note specifically in relation to applications for resource consent:

  • under Sections 88G and 88H of the Resource Management Act 1991, the applicable statutory timeframe will not commence until the initial deposit fee is paid
  • in accordance with the Resource Management (Discount on Administrative Charges) Regulations 2010, discounts shall be paid on administrative charges for applications that are not processed within statutory timeframes.

Please check for engineering fees that may also be applicable.
