Notified consents
A submission is the way GWRC can take into account any views, comments or concerns about someone's resource consent application. Submissions can:
- support the application
- oppose the application
- support parts of the application and oppose other parts.
Submissions must be received by GWRC by the submission closing time stated in the notification advertisement. It’s important to get your submission to GWRC in time. This is because submissions are not accepted by GWRC after the closing date unless the applicant agrees or there are special circumstances.
Some tips in preparing and writing submissions
- Make sure you read the application and the ‘assessment of environmental effects’. Look at any plans associated with the application and, if necessary, arrange to visit the site with the applicant. You should clearly understand the proposal and how it could potentially affect you before you make your submission.
- Our current notified consent applications further down this page provide all information on any resource consent application you wish to make a submission on.
- If others feel the same way as you about the application, you should consider making a joint submission (e.g. by forming a community group and appointing a spokesperson). Make sure you clearly identify the contact person for the submission.
- You can either use a GWRC submission form or write your own submission.
Lodging your submission
You can lodge your submission in any of the following ways:
- In person at our Wellington office (100 Cuba St, Te Aro) or Masterton office (34 Chapel St)
- By post to either PO Box 11646, Wellington or PO Box 41, Masterton
- By e-mail to notifications@gw.govt.nz. (A signed submission in PDF format is required)
You must also send a copy of your submission to the applicant. Please note that all the information in your submission is available to the public on request.
Once your submission is lodged
After the submission period closes, a summary of all submissions received is sent to all submitters and the applicant. At this point a pre-hearing meeting is normally held to discuss the application and issues raised in submissions.
If issues cannot be resolved a hearing is held to determine the resource consent application. Only submitters who have requested to be heard at a hearing can speak to their submission at the hearing.
If you as a submitter are not satisfied with the decision arising from the hearing, you can appeal that decision made by GWRC to the Environment Court.
GWRC may arrange a pre-hearing meeting so that submitters and the applicant can talk about and clarify issues in the application. These meetings are held soon after submissions close, at a place close to the area affected, to make it easier for everyone to attend.
The issues raised in submissions can sometimes be resolved at a pre-hearing meeting, avoiding the need for a formal hearing. If agreement looks likely, submitters and the applicant are asked whether they want to negotiate consent conditions. GWRC suggests possible consent conditions, and if everyone agrees to them submitters may be asked to withdraw their wish to be heard (not their submission) so that the consent application does not need to go to a hearing. Any conditions agreed to must be approved by GWRC before they are attached to the consent (if it is granted).
To read more about pre-hearing meetings download our Pre-hearing and hearing meetings brochure. (PDF 341 KB)
A hearing is a formal meeting where a hearing panel considers and decides on a resource consent application. A hearing takes place if one or more of the submitters (or the applicant) asks to be heard, or if GWRC thinks it is necessary. The hearing panel is usually made up of two GWRC councillors or independent commissioners, and an iwi appointee.
Before the hearing
GWRC gives all submitters and the applicant at least 10 working days' notice of the hearing date, time and place. A GWRC report is prepared, recommending whether the application should be granted or declined. If it recommends granting the application, it also suggests any conditions that should be attached to the consent. This report is sent to the applicant and to all submitters at least five working days before the hearing.
GWRC may also before the hearing direct the applicant and/or submitters to circulate their evidence prior to the hearing. This process can reduce the time required to hold a hearing.
At the hearing
All hearings are open to the public, including the media (unless it is necessary to protect sensitive information). However, the only people who can speak are the applicant, submitters (who have requested to be heard), GWRC staff, and the hearing panel. Applicants and submitters can bring expert witnesses to help them present their views.
After the hearing (the decision)
GWRC sends out a written decision with consent conditions (if the consent was granted). This is completed within 15 working days after the hearing is closed (unless the timeframe has been extended).
If you disagree with any part or all of a decision on a resource consent, you can appeal to the Environment Court within 15 working days of receiving the decision.
To read more about hearing procedures download our Pre-hearing and hearing meetings (PDF 341 KB) brochure.
An appeal is a written request (made under section 121 of the Resource Management Act) to the Environment Court to reconsider a GWRC decision on a resource consent application. The Environment Court decides on the matter by re-hearing all the information we used to make our decision. It’s important that you prepare your appeal carefully. We strongly recommend you seek legal or other professional advice before going ahead.

Application
Greater Wellington Regional Council has received an application for a resource consent from:
Applicant: Wellington International Airport Limited
Address for Service:

Attention: Amanda Dewar / Joshua Leckie
or by email: amanda.dewar@laneneave.co.nz
Location: Wellington International Airport, Lyall Bay
Map Reference: N/A
Summary of Proposal: The applicant is seeking to enable the construction, operation and maintenance of a 355m extension to the take-off runway available (TORA) at Wellington International Airport. This will largely involve the construction of a reclamation at the southern end of the existing Airport runway into the coastal marine bay at Lyall Bay. The total length of the proposed runway extension (including the toe) from the existing land boundary into the coastal marine area (CMA) is approximately 363m. The total construction footprint of the runway extension is approximately 13ha, which includes the CMA, road, Airport Precinct and Open Space B zoned land. The area of the reclamation is approximately 11ha.
The project construction works also include an extension to the existing tunnel underpass on Moa Point Road, the construction and maintenance of a submerged surf wave focusing structure in Lyall Bay approximately 450m offshore, temporary moorings within a construction exclusion area and other landscape/ amenity improvement works in the locality. It is proposed that activities and transport movements during construction will occur during the day and at night, seven days a week, subject to restrictions as set out in the application.
Consent Applied For: The applicant is seeking a 15 year lapse period for all resource consents pursuant to Section 125 of the Resource Management Act 1991. Wellington International Airport Limited requested that the application for resource consents be directly referred to the Environment Court for determination instead of the relevant consent authorities. On 22 July 2016, both GWRC and WCC granted the request for the decision on this application to be determined by the Environment Court.

Download now (PDF 296 KB) get_appOn 15 May 2019, Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and Hutt City Council’s regulatory arm (HCC Consents) received a joint application for a resource consent related to the Eastern Bays Shared Path.
Applicant: Hutt City Council (Transport Department)
Address for Service:
Hutt City Council
C/- Stantec
Attention: Caroline van Halderen
PO Box 13-052
Armagh, Christchurch
By email: caroline.vanhalderen@stantec.com
Location: Legal Road and Local Purpose Reserve, Sec 1 SO 31984, Lot 4 DP 10005, Lot 1 DP 1538 and the Coastal Marine Area (CMA); on the seaward side of Marine Drive, between Point Howard and the northern end of Days Bay, and extending from the southern end of Days Bay (Windy Point) to Eastbourne (at Muritai Road/Marine Drive intersection).
Summary of Proposal: Resource consent is being sought by Hutt City Council’s Transport Department to construct, operate and maintain a 4.4km shared path (cycleway and pedestrian access) along the seaward edge of Marine Drive. The Shared Path is to be constructed in two sections:
- between Point Howard and the northern end of Days Bay
- between the southern end of Days Bay (Windy Point) and the intersection of Marine Drive and Muritai Road
The joint application covers the entire length of the shared path and an integrated approach to consenting has been adopted whereby the applicant has assessed the project’s overall environmental effects, instead of assessments specific to the activities requiring consent within each regulatory authority. Certain areas of the shared path, and associated seawalls, steps, ramps and bus shelters which are located on land to be reclaimed within the coastal marine area (CMA) are being considered under s 89(2) of the Resource Management Act 1991 as if these activities related to an activity on land within the Hutt City Council District. The applicant is seeking a 10 year lapse period for all resource consents pursuant to section 125 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
Consents Applied For: Reclamation activities (unlimited consent duration sought): Coastal permit for the reclamation and associated drainage of foreshore and seabed required to construct new structures, and additions/alterations and replacement of existing structures.
Construction of new structures and the addition/alteration, replacement and demolition and removal of existing structures (35 year consent duration sought): Coastal permit to construct new structures, and undertake additions and/or alterations, replacement, and removal and demolition of existing structures (seawalls, rock revetments, boat ramps, beach access structures, edge protection structures, stormwater outlets) located within the coastal marine area, including any associated:
- Destruction, disturbance, deposition and discharge of contaminants to the foreshore and seabed during construction and maintenance of the structures
- Diversion of coastal water (including dewatering) during construction and maintenance of the structures
- Occupation of space within the coastal marine area
Beach nourishment (35 year duration sought): Coastal permit to deposit natural materials, including sand, shingle and shell, onto the intertidal beach at Point Howard, Lowry Bay and York Bay for beach nourishment purposes.
Driving machinery on the beach within sites of significance (35 year duration sought): Coastal permit for disturbance of the foreshore and seabed as a result of driving heavy machinery on the foreshore and seabed during construction and maintenance activities.
Earthworks outside of the coastal marine area (35 year duration sought): Land use consent to undertake earthworks associated with construction of the shared path, including associated discharges of sediment laden water to land where it may enter coastal water.
Hutt City Council Consents Applied For: Land use consent for the construction, alteration (including widening the road in some areas) and diversion of Marine Drive to create the Shared Path.
Land use consent for the construction and operation of the Shared Path within a Significant Natural Resource (SNR) site, being SNR 44. All work within Significant Natural Resource 44 requires consent.

Porirua Notified Consents
Current Update
12 Nov 2021: Recent issues with sludge have highlighted to Porirua City Council (PCC) and Wellington Water Limited (WWL) that they need to take a further look into the Porirua Wastewater Treatment Plant operation and performance. An independent review of the issues is taking place. During this time the resource consent process will be paused* as there may be improvements from the review that may impact the consent application. In the meantime, WWL will also complete an updated maintenance and operations plan for improving operational performance. WWL has also committed to engage with the community in a transparent way in relation to the findings of the review, and will consult further should the review result in a change in the consent approach. At this stage, PCC expects to be able to proceed to a hearing before June 2022. Any further updates to the process including notice of the hearing will be published on this page.
* The timeframe to hold a hearing has been extended in accordance with s37 of the Resource Management Act.

Location: Porirua Wastewater Treatment Plant, Pikarere Street, and the coastal marine area at Rukutane Point, Titahi Bay, Porirua
Map Reference: NZTM: 1752599.5447150 (Discharge to air)
NZTM: 1753097.5447922 (Discharge to the coastal marine area)
Summary of Proposal: Wellington Water Limited (on behalf of Porirua City Council (PCC)) has applied to Greater Wellington for resource consent for discharges related to the continued operation of the Porirua Wastewater Treatment Plant (the treatment plant). The treatment plant takes wastewater from the residential and commercial areas of Porirua, and the northern suburbs of Wellington. Consent is required for: Discharge permit for the discharge of a contaminant (odour) to air from the treatment plant
Discharge permit for the discharge of treated and partially-treated wastewater to the coastal marine area off Rukutane Point from the operation of the treatment plant.
Odour is generated as the untreated wastewater enters the treatment plant, and within the milliscreen building at the treatment plant. The air discharge consent application proposes to continue current management practices that minimise odour.
The discharges from the treatment plant to the sea relate to the discharge of fully treated and disinfected (by ultraviolet light) wastewater, as well as intermittent discharges of partially treated wastewater until capacity upgrades are completed in June 2023. These intermittent discharges occur when heavy rain significantly increases the volume of wastewater in the system, beyond the capacity of the treatment plant.
Consents Applied for:
[36727]: To discharge contaminants to air (odour) from the operation of the Porirua Wastewater Treatment Plant
[36816]: To discharge treated and partially-treated wastewater to the coastal marine area from the operation of the Porirua Wastewater Treatment Plant
