Resource Management

There are six primary categories for activities under the Resource Management Act 1991: permitted, controlled, restricted discretionary, discretionary, non-complying and prohibited. These categories determine matters such as whether a Resource Consent is required, what factors will be considered and whether a Resource Consent must, may or may not be granted.

We can help with obtaining the following Resource Consents, depending on the kind of activity proposed:

• Land use consent
• Subdivision consent
• Coastal permit
• Water permit
• Discharge permit

We can also assist with:

• Dealing with Abatement Notices and Enforcement Orders;
• Filing submissions on Resource Consent applications;
• Offences under the Resource Management Act 1991;
• Negotiating a favourable outcome for your Resource Consent application;
• Attending mediations;
• Lodging a Resource Consent appeal in the Environment Court;
• Third Party participation in Environment Court appeals (section 274 appeals).
