How do I lodge a resource consent application?

You can apply for a resource consent on our Apply for a resource consent page.

If you think neighbours or other parties will be affected by your proposed activity, it's advisable to obtain written approval from them prior to lodging your application. If you're able to get written approval from all affected people, this will result in time and cost savings in processing your application. Find out more on our Written approval of affected persons page.
