End-to-End Support for a Wide Range of Land Uses
With Smart Alliances, you get a team that understands the technical, environmental, and regulatory complexities of Land Use Consents—and knows how to get results.
What activities may trigger the requirement to obtain a land use resource consent?
Earthworks - excavation and filling
Boundary setbacks, recession planes, height, site coverage and light reflectance value, proximity to frost fans, outdoor amenity
Commercial, community or industrial activities – in residential or rural zones including offices and visitor/ worker/RSE accommodation
Additional dwellings and family flats
Vegetation clearance
Subdivision and land development including parking, entranceways and access
Works in, on, under or over a river or lake – diversion, bridges and culverts
New signage consents
Excavation and building in a flood hazard overlay or within 8m of a stopbank or river
Noise sensitive activities close to the rail corridor or a state highway
HAIL – Soil disturbance on contaminated land
Alteration or removal of a heritage building or historic tree
