What is a resource consent?

A resource consent is permission from the local council for subdivision of land or a land use activity that is not permitted under the District Plan.

A resource consent may come with conditions that help manage the effects of your proposal.

When you need to apply for a resource consent

When development does not comply with a District Plan rule or standard, or when a rule in the District Plan states that a resource consent is required for that specific activity, you need to apply for a resource consent. 

Examples of situations where you may need to apply for a resource consent are:

  • building a house
  • developing or subdividing land
  • retail, commercial or industrial activities
  • earthworks

How to check if you need a consent

There are several ways you can check if you need a consent.
