Resource Consents (Current)

This item displays details and locations of current consents within the Taranaki Region. A resource consent is permission from the local council for an activity that might affect the environment and isn’t allowed ‘as of right’ in the district or regional plan. Each day, people apply to their local council for resource consents to do things such as building a garage, subdividing property, constructing a multi-storey apartment block, or taking water from a stream (Credit: Ministry for the Environment, New Zealand).
