Resource Consent
If you are considering doing something which may require a resource consent, Environment Southland staff can explain whether the Resource Management Act requires you to obtain a consent. If a consent is required staff can also provide guidance on carrying out an effects assessment and what consultation would be considered appropriate for your proposal.
There are different fees and charges for different types of consents. Check out this page to find out how much your application is likely to cost.
Recent hearings and decisions are available here.
Our Compliance team are responsible for checking the compliance of conditions imposed through resource consents as well as permitted activities. They also monitor industry resource consents and respond to environmental pollution incidents. Here you can find out more, download compliance forms, and upload water take data.
