Monitoring and enforcement

Government legislation requires us to carry out monitoring and enforcement roles in relation to resource consents and building work.

Monitoring

We monitor subdivisions and land use activities for which resource consents have been issued. We also investigate building work that may breach District Plan rules by not having the necessary consents. If you're concerned a development might not comply with the District Plan, call the duty planner as soon as possible or email [email protected].

Enforcement

We also take enforcement action when required. The Compliance & Enforcement Policy 2018 provides general guidance on how compliance, enforcement and prosecution matters are dealt with by Council.
