Requester Name: | Emelia Ives |
Organisation: | Otago Student |
Requested Information: | My name is Emelia Ives. I'm trying to gather some very general information about sub-dividing properties in the cities and districts in New Zealand. I am a University of Otago student and am hoping to get some answers for a basic research project. All answers will be anonymised, data to be used in this class only and deleted afterwards. I understand that sub-division and resource consent is a very complicated process and involves multiple properties but my goal is to understand what the process is like from the council's perspective. Could you please give me some general ballpark answers or figures to the below questions. How long does the process typically take to complete a subdivision (from once the council lodges an application until the final clearance Sec 224(c) certification)? Any information or insights would be really helpful. Thank you so much for your time. |
Response: | Thank you for your request for information regarding resource consents Please find the answers highlighted below. If there is any more specific information you require please do not hesitate to contact me. How long does the process typically take to complete a subdivision (from once the council lodges an application until the final clearance Sec 224(c) certification)? Typically councils have 20 working days to issue a consent. If the consent is complex then an extension of time can be applied under the Resource Management Act which allows further time for processing. To the stage of 224 certification this will vary depending on how long the developer takes to undertake the work and have the certification signed off. I cannot give a timeframe for this as it is dependant on the developer completing the work.
