It requires an application, which can be specific to the area or individual site, as well as careful monitoring upon approval.
However, the various requirements of Resource Consents and stages of the application can be challenging for someone who has never completed one before – especially when there are multiple other areas of the build that require your attention.
These stages can include:
- Neighbour and community consultation
- Subdivision planning
- Architectural designing
- Council mediation
- New Zealand standards and regulations
Resource Consent is typically requested when you need permission to make changes to your property or nearby natural features. This can include:
- Subdividing your land
- Taking water from a nearby stream or other source
- Using coastal space
- Discharging materials or contaminants into the soil, air, or water
- Building an apartment block
