How to consult
Consultation aims to identify how other people may be affected by your proposal and how you can modify your proposal to overcome any negative effects on them. In most cases, thorough consultation helps the smooth processing of your application and may even avoid the need for a hearing. Your application will need to identify who you consulted, along with their names, addresses, telephone numbers and who they represent.
Potentially affected parties may include: owners or occupiers of land and neighbours; downstream and adjoining property owners; community or environmental groups; local iwi; the Department of Conservation; Fish and Game; and local city or district councils.
Contact us if you would like help in identifying potentially interested or affected parties.
