Is there anything else that could help me get a Resource Consent?
If you require a resource consent it is important that you talk with everybody who is interested, or is likely to be affected by your proposed activity. Your talks could include such people and groups as the Department of Conservation, local iwi, your neighbours, environmental groups and the Regional Council.
If your proposed activity has only a minor effect on the environment and all interested parties have given their approval, your application may not have to be advertised.
It is important to discuss your proposal with your neighbours and other interested parties as it may save both time and costs.
