2.1 Purpose of Report This report provides an update on recent resource consenting activity. The report is provided for information purposes only, so that there is visibility of major projects and an opportunity for Elected Members to understand the process.
Applications are assessed by delegation through the Resource Management Act (RMA); it is not intended to have application outcome discussions as part of this paper.
|
|
The officer presented the report. Questions were answered clarifying: · Contact is made with applicants where the application has been sitting on hold for an extended period, though there is no withdrawal mechanism for Council in the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). · Consent may be given retrospectively if an unconsented activity is brought to the attention of Council. · Complex applications under the RMA take more time. 12 to 18 months is not unusual particularly if the applicant needs to provide a detailed report. |
