Transferring your consent
You can transfer your land use consent or coastal, discharge or water permit to any other person who wants to undertake the same activity at the same site. You can also transfer your water permit to someone at a different site, but you can’t do this for any other type of consent.
Until your consent is transferred, you’ll be liable for any ongoing consent supervision and monitoring charges. So if you sell your operation or property, contact us and we’ll arrange the transfer free of charge.
These types of consents can be transferred in the following circumstances:
