Resource consents

Resource consent tracker

This page provides high level overview information about our current resource consent applications received through our online system and the decisions that have been issued.

If you would like to find an update on your resource consent application or a decision, you can use the table of consents received below to search for it by the consent ID. If you do not know the consent ID, you can search by the location, legal description, consent type and description.

This is to provide greater transparency and help you find information on the resource consents in the district.

Below is the standard non-notified consenting process.

Consent tracking

Disclaimers

The report relies on the information given in the application form which may not be totally accurate, if you believe that the information is incorrect please contact resourceconsentsadmin@npdc.govt.nz and we will try to rectify this information.

In our current application tracking system, updates to the status of an application are updated once a day, overnight so changes in consent status will appear the following day.

Note: The data currently only includes consents submitted online from 6th June. If you are wanting an update on an application submitted before this date, please contact resourceconsentsadmin@npdc.govt.nz.

Viewing the tracker on a mobile device is not optimal currently. For the best experience, we recommend viewing from a desktop computer.
