Transferring, changing and surrendering resource consents

If you are selling a property for which you have one or more resource consents, you can transfer them to the new owner or you can surrender them. It is important that you let us know whichever you decide to do, either by completing a transfer form - click on the appropriate link below to download or request one - and sending or faxing it to us, or contact us to arrange cancellation.

Surrendering your Resource Consent 

If you are no longer undertaking the activity authorised by your resource consent you must surrender your consent in writing to the Regional Council Consents team. We may carry out a final inspection which you may be charged for.
 

Making changes to a consent

Section 127 of the RMA provides for applications to be made to change consent conditions. For example; to reduce or increase takes/discharges, removing monitoring conditions or adding new details.
 
To apply, download our Application for Change or Cancellation of Consent Conditions form or contact the Consents team to discuss your requirements.
