Resource Consent Related Issues
If you would like to confirm that an existing activity or structure has existing use rights (i.e. you know that it contravenes a current rule in the District Plan but that it was lawfully established before the District Plan rule came into effect), then you could apply for a Certificate of Existing Use under section 139A of the Resource Management Act 1991.
If you would like to check whether your proposed activity is permitted (and therefore will not need a Resource Consent), then you could apply for a Certificate of Compliance under section 139 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
If your proposal relates to a designated site, such as a school, then you may wish to refer to the Outline Plan For Designated Sites pamphlet, which explains how to apply for approval of an Outline Plan for the proposed works under section 176 (a) of the Resource Management Act 1991.
If you would like to create or change any right of way easement over a property, then you may wish to apply for right of way approval under section 348 of the Local Government Act 1974.
