Resource Management Act and Building Charges Policy
We have reviewed the current policy and are consulting on a new proposed policy. You can find out more about this and have your say at Participate BOPRC.
We work with the community to promote the sustainable management of natural physical resources. As part of this work we manage the environmental impacts of activities through the issuing and monitoring of consents.
The Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and Building Act 2004 form the foundation of the majority of our work. The Resource Management Act and Building Act Charges Policy (“Charges Policy”) sets out our charges under these Acts. To carry out our work under the RMA, we process resource consents, monitor and manage consented and other authorised activities and monitor the state of the region’s resources. The costs associated with this work are set under section 36 of the RMA and we pass these costs along to applicants and consent holders as outlined in our Charges Policy This covers everything from consent application fees and other consent monitoring charges.
What our Charges Policy covers
- Consent application charges.
- Discount on administrative charges.
- Charges for objections.
- Annual consent charges.
- Staff and travel charges.
- Fees and Charges for the Flood Protection and Drainage Bylaw.
- Port Charges for the Navigation Safety Bylaw.
