Questions
Any person may apply. The application must include an assessment of the activity's effects on the environment covering the matters in Schedule 4 of the RMA, plus the other information that schedule requires.
Possibly. If the only breach is a boundary rule and the owners of the infringed boundaries sign the plans, the council can treat it as a deemed permitted boundary activity under s 87BA. It must respond within 10 working days.
Not yet for most applications. The Planning Act 2026 was enacted on 30 September 2026, but many of its provisions start on dates set later by Order in Council. Resource consents are still applied for under the RMA.
