Illustration for Resource Management Act 1991

You have an extant wastewater consent that is about to expire. The expiry date of this consent is extended to a new date. This extension is allowed under certain conditions. You cannot extend an extant wastewater consent except in the cases mentioned in subsection (1) and section 139D. The conditions that apply to your consent remain the same unless they need to be changed because the consent is being extended. This extension is allowed under subsection (1) or section 139D. The extension of your consent does not affect how sections 127 to 129 apply. You still need to follow these sections. The extension is allowed under this section or section 139D.
