You have a resource consent that was granted before some rules were made. The resource consent is more important than those rules. Those rules include a stormwater environmental performance standard under section 139A of the Water Services Act 2021 and a wastewater environmental performance standard made under section 138 of the Water Services Act 2021. You need to know that this can change if the consent authority reviews the conditions of the resource consent under section 128(1)(bc). The review might result in the rules being more important than the resource consent. This means the resource consent will no longer prevail over those rules. The rules that the resource consent prevails over are specific and were made after the resource consent was granted. The resource consent is like a permission to do something, and it was given before those rules existed. The permission is still valid, even if the rules say something different, unless the consent authority reviews and changes it.
