Designations under the Resource Management Act 1991
Under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) areas of land may be designated for public works or network utilities such as roads and reticulation services. A requiring authority must give notice to a territorial authority of its requirement for a designation. A designation can be processed by the territorial authority, lodged with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or directly referred to the Environment Court.
Our Resource Management team has created a flow chart outlining the various steps and stages in the designation process to assist with navigating the relevant sections of the RMA.
