Have your say in the consent process
There are two types of notified resource consent applications - those that are publicly notified which allows anyone to lodge a submission in support or opposition to an application, and those that are served on affected parties only allowing only those parties served notice to lodge a submission.
After submissions are received, the Handling Officer writes a report, making a recommendation to the Hearings Committee. The report is sent to the submitters, and then a hearing is held.
Withdrawing your submission
A submission may be withdrawn at any time before a decision has been reached on whether to grant or decline the application. If you stated in your submission that you wish to be heard but later decide against this, you must let the Handling Officer know as soon as possible, by telephoning and following this up in writing or by email as soon as possible afterwards.
