104B: Determination of applications for discretionary or non-complying activities

You could also call this:

“The council decides if it will allow special activities and can set rules for them.”

When you apply for a resource consent for a discretionary activity or non-complying activity, the consent authority can decide to approve or deny your application. If they approve it, they can also add conditions to your consent. These conditions are set out in section 108 of the Resource Management Act.
