Greater Wellington processes resource consent applications for people who wish to use or develop the natural resources of air, water, coast and land in our region. We also involve people affected by the use and development of natural resources in our decision making process. Once resource consents are issued we monitor the use of these activities to make sure consent conditions are being complied with.

The Resource Management Act 1991 and our regional plans contain the rules and policies we use to manage the natural and physical resources of the Wellington region.
