Notified Consent

The joint application covers the entire length of the shared path and an integrated approach to consenting has been adopted whereby the applicant has assessed the project’s overall environmental effects, instead of assessments specific to the activities requiring consent within each regulatory authority. Certain areas of the shared path, and associated seawalls, steps, ramps and bus shelters which are located on land to be reclaimed within the coastal marine area (CMA) are being considered under s 89(2) of the Resource Management Act 1991 as if these activities related to an activity on land within the Hutt City Council District.

The applicant is seeking a 10 year lapse period for all resource consents pursuant to section 125 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
