Resource Management Act 1991

Resource consents - Streamlining decision-making on resource consents

87H: Residual powers of consent authority

You could also call this:

"When a court makes a decision, the council gets to manage the consent as if they made the decision."

If the Environment Court makes a decision on a resource consent under section 87G, the consent authority that would have made the decision gets to do all the tasks related to the consent. You can think of it like the consent authority granted the consent itself. The consent authority has all the same jobs, responsibilities, and powers as if they made the decision.

The consent authority can do everything it needs to do with the resource consent. This is because the Environment Court's decision is like the consent authority's own decision. You can find more information about how this works by looking at section 87G.
