Consents - What does it cost and how to payE hia te utu, ā, me pēhea te utu

Each resource consent application is assessed individually, and we outline the charging of actual and reasonable costs associated with the processing of an application.

About consent fees

The only set fees are for specific actions (e.g. transferring a consent).

At the start of the process we will provide you with an estimate of the possible cost range for the application, although it is difficult to accurately predict the costs. All charges are shown in the Regional Council’s annual Charges Guide sent to all consent holders in July each year, or ask for a copy from our Consent Advisor +646 835 9200 consentadvisor@hbrc.govt.nz. The link to this guide for 2023-2024 is below.

Give your views on charges

Yes, you can have a say about how charges are set. Each year these charges are set out in the Regional Council’s draft annual plan so you can have a say through the public consultation process. You can make a submission to the draft annual plan in April-May. Once these charges are fixed, no-one can influence a change until the following annual plan.

The annual plan process includes a period for public submissions. Check this website in April - May each year for details.

How to pay

Payments for fixed fees or deposits can be paid via internet banking, or credit card, using payment references provided by the Consent Advisor +646 835 9200 consentadvisor@hbrc.govt.nz. Go to our Make a payment page for more information.
