Appeals on a Submission

 
Can I change a decision that has already been made?

 

If you disagree with the West Coast Regional Council's decision you may make an appeal. This will mean that the application will be reconsidered by the Environment Court. Details on lodging an appeal are sent out to all parties with the letter notifying the Council's decision.

 

Appeals may be expensive and time consuming with no guarantee of a favourable outcome. If you are considering such an appeal you are strongly advised to seek specialist or legal advice.
