Notified consents
You may make a submission on any advertised resource consent that we are processing. The only exceptions are Limited Notified consents, where only the notified affected parties are able to make a submission.
Read more about the process for publicly notified consents.
A submission is a written statement about a notified resource consent application. It may be in support or oppose the proposed activity. More information can be found in the Ministry for the Environment's Guide for Making a Submission.
You can make a submission by filling out our online submission form, or use a printable submission form. If you use a printable submission form it must be emailed to esconsents@es.govt.nz or posted or delivered in hard copy to Environment Southland.
Once decisions on notified consents are made, the applicant and submitters are notified of the outcome and there is a 15 day appeal period. Environment Southland will not comment on any decision outcome.
If you have a query regarding this, please contact us on 0800 76 88 45 or email esconsents@es.govt.nz.
