Please include the following in your applications:
- A GWRC resource consent application forms - in particular, it is important to provide an assessment of environmental effects (AEE);
- Written approvals of affected persons using Form 1b (for non-notified applications only);
- Any information required by a regional plan or regulations Greater Wellington — Plans, policies and bylaws (gw.govt.nz)); and
- The required fee (Greater Wellington — Fees and charges (gw.govt.nz))
An AEE is a report about the effects your proposed activity will or may have on the environment. It shows the ways in which any adverse (or negative) effects of your activity can be managed. An AEE should:
- Describe your proposal
- Specify alternative locations or methods if your proposed activity is a discharge or is an activity that is likely to have significant adverse effects on the environment
- Assess the activity's actual or potential effects on the environment
- Describe any contaminants discharged and sensitivity of the receiving environment
- Describe the measures you will take to prevent or reduce effects on the environment
- Identify anyone who may be interested in or affected by your proposal. Include information on how your consultation went with those people your response to any views expressed
- Outline how any effects on the environment will be monitored and by who, if necessary.
The resource consent application forms provide sections for you to complete an AEE. However in many instances a more detailed AEE will be required to be submitted with your application. This is normally completed by an appropriate professional with expertise relating to your proposed activity.
Any AEE dealing with effects on biodiversity, aquatic ecosystem health or mahinga kai should consider the direction of our guidance on the assessment required under each step of the Natural Resources Plan’s effects management hierarchy.
