Changing your resource consent conditions or details

Changing details or conditions

You can apply to Waikato Regional Council to change the conditions or a specific detail of your consent at any time. You cannot apply to change the expiry date of your consent.

For changes to consents that are not notified or do not receive submissions, this may be a simple process involving a short report by staff, an amendment to our records of your consent and an amended consent being sent out to you.

For consents that were subject to public or limited notification and received submissions, the process may involve obtaining agreement from the submitters or may even require a hearing.

The necessary application forms for consent changes are available on our forms page. Applications for changes to consents are charged on an actual and reasonable costs basis.

Note that changing your consent details is not the same as cancelling (surrending) or cancel or transferring it to a different owner / party.

We recommend you contact us first or call 0800 800 401 to discuss any changes to consent details or conditions.
