Resource consents - Review of consent conditions by consent authority

129: Notice of review

You could also call this:

"Getting a notice when someone checks and updates the rules for a project"

When a consent authority reviews a consent, you get a notice. The notice tells you which conditions are being reviewed. It also says why the review is happening.

The notice might ask you to suggest new conditions for the consent. You have 20 working days to do this. If you have to pay a charge, the notice tells you this and how much it might be.

Sometimes the consent authority has to tell others about the review. If this happens, they must give them a summary of the notice within a certain time. This time is either 30 or 10 working days, depending on whether you were asked to suggest new conditions.

The notice might also say that the consent authority is reviewing the conditions of your consent and other consents at the same time, because of a rule that affects them all. You can find more information about this in section 128 and section 130.
