MONITORING CHARGES:

For all land use consents excluding controlled CBD and Controlled Minors that require monitoring will be charged a monitoring fee.
The monitoring fee is set at $165.00 per hour, plus Actual Costs. A higher monitoring charge may be applied as a condition of consent to implement a specific monitoring programme, or to review particularly complex consent conditions. The higher monitoring charge may be incorporated by way of condition of consent as either a fixed charge or as an annual charge where ongoing monitoring is required.
Where no monitoring is required by the consent, or where resource consent has been declined, the monitoring charge will be refunded to the applicant.
