Notification of a resource consent application involves the placement of a public notice in the newspaper, notification of people most likely to be affected by the activity, including adjoining owners, and a sign at or near the property to indicate what is proposed.
In general terms, an application for a resource consent need not be notified if the activity to which it relates is a controlled activity and all affected parties provide written consent. Discretionary activities need not be notified if they are expressly permitted as such by a district plan, or a district authority is satisfied any adverse effects will be minor and written consent is obtained from adversely affected parties.
