Any development, subdivision or other proposed use of a site must be assessed against the Council's District Plan. The District Plan contains rules about different types of activities in different parts of the city. Anything not permitted by the Plan requires a resource consent, which will be for either a land-use consent or a subdivision consent. Residential RulesSummaries of the general rules for inner residential and outer residential areas are below.
Activities that may require a resource consent are, for example:
The Resource Consent ProcessResource consent applications take 20 working days, provided all the necessary information is included and your proposed project does not need to be notified. An application will follow one of three procedures; non-notified, limited notified or publicly notified. The Council monitors projects it has issued resource consents for. It also investigates building work that may be breaching the District Plan rules by not having the necessary consents. If you are concerned a development may not comply with the District Plan, contact us as soon as possible. The 'Guide to Resource Consents in Wellington City' outlines the full resource consent process. Guide to Resource Consents in Wellington City  Applying for a Resource ConsentYou, or someone representing you - such as a builder, architect, surveyor or planning consultant - must complete an Application for Resource Consent and take, or post it, to the Council's Development Guidance Team.
