What is a submission?
The Resource Management Act 1991 is designed to ensure that there is opportunity for the public to participate in the management of the environment.
This means that when someone wants to do something which has an effect on the environment, or directly affects you, there is an opportunity for you to have your say.
You can do this by making a submission on a resource consent application.
A submission is a written statement of support or opposition to an advertised consent application
