77D: Rules specifying activities for which consent applications must be notified or are precluded from being notified

You could also call this:

“Rules about when the public must be told about resource consent applications”

A local authority can make a rule about what happens when someone applies for a resource consent. You need to know that this rule can say when the consent authority must tell the public about an application. The rule can also say when the consent authority cannot tell the public about an application.

The consent authority is like a decision-maker who looks at applications for resource consents. When you apply for a resource consent, the consent authority might need to tell the public about it, or they might not be allowed to. The local authority’s rule can also say when the consent authority cannot just tell a few people about an application, but this is not the only thing the rule can do.

The rule is made by the local authority, and it helps them decide what to do with resource consent applications, as stated in the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009. You can find more information about this in the Resource Management Act. The local authority’s rule is an important part of how they make decisions about resource consents.
