Learn about the judicial review concerning our decisions on granting Mayfield-Hinds-Valetta Water Limited’s irrigation discharge permit.
News
If the environmental effects of your consent application are more than minor, the resource consent will require notification under Section 95 of the Resource Management Act (RMA)(external link).
When we make a decision on a resource consent, we consider:
- the effects on the natural environment
- how the activity will affect other people's use and enjoyment of the environment.
