What is this survey about?

We want your feedback on the proposed amendments to the Policy which details our resource management charges for the Wellington Region. A key part of these charges is for the costs associated with applying for and monitoring a resource consent from us. This includes all those current consent holders and anyone who may be looking to apply for a resource consent from Greater Wellington.  

Greater Wellington undertakes a wide variety of regulatory functions relating to resource management activities including processing resource consent applications, undertaking compliance monitoring of consent conditions, monitoring the state of our environment, and responding to environmental incidents. The Policy adopts a ‘beneficiary pays’ principle, so those who benefit from using natural and physical resources are expected to pay the full costs of that use. 

Further information about the proposed amendments can be viewed in the brief Summary of Information and more detailed Statement of Proposal.
