Making a submission

A submission is simply a written statement from you about a notified Resource Consent application.

Your submission should:

  • Be clear and to the point

In your submission please clearly indicate:

  • Whether you support or oppose the application, or if you wish to make a neutral submission
  • Which parts of the application you are specifically concerned about
  • Why you are making the submission
  • What decision you want us to make or what outcome you want
  • If we grant the consent, what are some of the conditions you want in place?
  • If you want to attend a hearing and present your submission in-person
