The balance of any charge will be invoiced along with Resource Management Authority check (where Property Information Memorandum [PIM] not applied for), government and other levies when the consent is ready for issue.

Note: Council reserves the right to assess individual cases as required. Additional reasonable charges may be requested by virtue of Section 219(2) of the Building Act 2004 if costs incurred exceed the standard charge. Applications that require consultation with New Zealand Fire Service or Heritage New Zealand Puhere Taonga will have costs recovered. Review of engineer design buildings by consultant will be charged as specified below.
A building project greater than $20,000 will also attract Insurance, Quality (QA), BRANZ and MBIE levies. Work cannot commence until the consent is paid for and issued.

Non-compliance may result in additional inspections and/or sampling to ensure compliance has been achieved.
Fees and charges are set by the management committees at the different halls. We recommend contacting the hall managers directly.

Resource Management |
Charges
|
|
|
The hourly charge-out rate for recovering staff costs is now $187.00 per hour. The Council has resolved to generally fix charges in accordance with Section 36 and Section 36AAA of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) for processing applications or requests and carrying out reviews based on a formula of hourly rates multiplied by the actual and reasonable time required to carry out the activity, plus the costs of disbursements and specialised advice. For the activities to which this formula applies, the Council requires payment of minimum lodgement fees (deposits) as listed below but reserves the right to require further deposits, interim payments or advance payments of amounts to be determined by the Resource Consents Manager, Environmental Policy Manager, Group Manager - Service & Strategy or the Group Manager - Environmental Assurance if processing activity is protracted over time or will incur substantial costs over and above the listed lodgement fees. For some specific functions, a standard charge or set fee applies as listed below. Refer also to the General Rules Applying in Respect of Charges set out in this Schedule. Where the formula or standard fee is inadequate to enable the Council to recover the actual and reasonable costs that are or will be incurred to carry out an activity, or where the Council considers that additional charges are warranted, they may be imposed under section 36(5) RMA and are subject to rights of objection. If a refund is due, the Council policy is to repay the person who originally supplied the deposit. Unless the Council receives written authority to the contrary, it cannot refund the money owing to someone else. Processing charges or credits of $20.00 or less are deemed uneconomic to process and the Council will not issue invoices or refunds if the total processing costs are within this $20.00 allowable variance. |

The above fees and charges set out the fixed charges for inspections and sampling under the NES - Plantation Forestry Regulations 2017. The number of inspections required per forest will vary depending on the size, environmental risk from the activity in that location, and the degree of compliance with the regulations.
Non-compliance may result in additional inspections and/or sampling to ensure compliance has been achieved.
Consultation is now open on the Draft Schedule of Fees and Charges 2024/2025. You can read all the proposed changes in this document (pdf 1.6 MB) and give feedback on them via Shape Tasman. Feedback closes 28 April 2024.

General Rules Applying in Respect of Resource Management Fees and Charges – |
|
Charges will include all reasonable staff time associated with processing and assessing applications, excluding staff travel time to and from the site of the application and/or consent holder. Applications include private plan change requests and resource consent processing and monitoring associated with Special Housing Areas. Staff time will be charged at $187.00 per hour inclusive of overhead component and GST from 1 July 2023. Costs associated with consent processing and assessment such as use of consultants and laboratory costs, where these skills cannot be provided by in-house staff, will be recovered at actual costs. This policy also applies to the monitoring of consent conditions where an annual charge is not made or where costs exceed the payable annual charge and Council elects to recover the difference. |
|
Where multiple resource consents are sought or required for related activities, the standard application lodgement fees (deposits) shall apply for each consent, except that the notification fee shall comprise one full deposit ($5,000) plus 20 percent for each additional consent required provided that the Manager Consents or the Environment and Planning Manager have discretion to determine a lesser total lodgement fee when there are large numbers of separate consents required. |
|
Council reserves the right to require further deposits, interim payments or advance payments of amounts to be determined by the Resource Consents Manager, Environmental Policy Manager or the Environment & Planning Manager if processing activity is protracted over time or will incur costs over and above the listed deposit or standard fees. Deposits for the cost of hearings will be required when the need for a hearing is confirmed. |
|
Where all or part of any deposit or charge is not paid, Council reserves the right not to process that application, or not to continue processing that application, in accordance with relevant statutory powers. |
|
The cost of Councillor hearing panels are set by the Remuneration Authority and will be charged accordingly. Commissioner costs shall be charged at actual costs incurred. Where submitters request that a matter proceed to a hearing before independent Commissioners they shall meet the costs additional to those that would have been incurred if the request had not been made (S.36(1)(ab) and (ad) RMA). |
|
Reductions and waivers are generally not available. Reductions might be justified where the person liable to pay any charge reduces the costs to Council of carrying out its functions, including through self-regulation checks approved by Council. |
|
There will be no charge on parties who choose to surrender a resource consent and provide written confirmation. |
|
Annual charges shall be due on 1 October or on the 20th of the month following the date of invoicing, whichever is the later, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Council. A standard administration fee of $82.00 will be applied when a consent is deemed by the Council as not currently given effect to and the ability to give effect is not currently present. Excludes permits to take water. |
|
A 50% rebate applies to the annual charges for consents with consent-specific monitoring programmes where monitoring costs are being recovered separately. Specific arrangements will be made in relation to approved self-regulation inspections. |
|
Where a consent has expired and the activity is continuing per S.124 RMA while an application for a replacement consent is being processed, the applicant shall continue to be liable to pay any annual and/or monitoring charge. |
|
Hydroelectric power generation (≥ 2.6 l/s), suction dredging, and land based fish farming annual charges will be based on the discharge and not the take as long as the take and discharge are of equal volume. If there is a consumptive off-take then that take will attract the annual charge as for other consumptive takes. Consents to take will still attract the minimum standard water permit annual charge. |
|
Annual charges levied on holders of resource consents will be recovered whether permits are exercised or not. |
|
Where a water take consent is restricted to winter only abstraction a 50% discount will apply. |
The fees are set by the new Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Fees) Regulations 2013 and are standard across the country. Council is not able to change these fees at present.
There are two types of fees for all licences:
Fees are calculated according to a new premises cost/risk rating that is determined by a combination of factors. These are:
The following document shows how to calculate your risk rating.
You will be sent an invoice for the annual fee based on your new risk rating. It is important to note that if the annual fee remains unpaid 30 days after the due date, your licence will be automatically suspended.

Where trade waste is discharged or measured separately from domestic wastewater, both trade waste and pan charges will be applied cumulatively. Where the waste streams are combined, the pan charge shall apply and act as a credit against the trade waste charges, so that only the trade waste charges in excess of the pan charge shall be payable. |
