168: Circumstances when consent conditions can be reviewed

Illustration for Planning Bill

You can have the conditions of a planning consent reviewed in certain situations. A consent authority can review the conditions at times specified in the consent to deal with environmental effects or for other purposes stated in the consent. They can also review the conditions if you break a condition or if environmental performance standards change. You might have the conditions of your planning consent reviewed if the information you provided was incorrect and this affected the decision. A consent authority must review the conditions if the Environment Court orders them to do so under section 256(6)(b). They will follow the process outlined in section 169 when reviewing the conditions.
