Resource Consents Hearings
Kā whakawā rawa taiao
If a resource consent is notified and any of the submitters on the resource consent wish to be heard, QLDC will hold a hearing to give both the submitters and the applicant a change to explain their views about the application.
-
If you are a submitter or the applicant of a resource consent application undergoing a hearing, we'll let you know the date and time of the hearing and provide you with a copy of our planner's report, which assesses all submissions received and the proposal, at least 15 working days before the hearing.
-
-
The applicant will be called upon to speak to their pre-circulated evidence and respond to any questions from the Commission.
-
Submitters (for and against the application) are then called to speak.
-
All questions and comments are to be directed to the Commission.
-
No cross-examination is permitted by any party.
-
After the applicant and submitters have presented their cases, the Commission will ask QLDC officers/professional consultants to comment on any matters for clarification.
-
The Commission may ask further questions of the applicant at this stage.
-
After the hearing is closed, the commissioner will make a decision within 15 working days. The applicant and the submitters will be sent the decision by email or by post.
