How Long Will It Take?

 
How long can I expect to wait for my application to be proccessed?

 

If you have provided all the information required a decision on a non-notified application (i.e. An application that does not need to be publicly advertised calling for submissions) should be made by West Coast Regional Council staff within 20 working days of receipt.

 

For notified applications (i.e. Advertised) the decision should be made within 70 working days, or if no submissions are received the decision should be made within 50 working days.

 

Please remember that our staff will be trying hard to have a decision to you as soon as possible.
