Resource Management regulations
These forms are prescribed by the Resource Management (Forms, Fees and Procedure) Regulations 2003 and came into effect on 1 August 2003 and were updated in 2006 and 2009.
The Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act was enacted in September 2009 and introduced new sections 36AA and 360(1)(hj) to the RMA.
Section 36AA requires local authorities to provide for a discount on administrative charges imposed under section 36 in circumstances where a resource consent application is not processed within the timeframe(s) set out in the RMA. Local authorities are required to adopt either the discount set out in regulation (the ‘default’ discount), or choose to develop their own policy that is more generous than the regulations.
