After the pre-assessment check, and before the decision-making stage, we'll charge an application processing fee.
We'll get in touch to discuss and send you an invoice.

Consultation
In some cases, we may need to:

- consult with iwi or others, for example the Department of Conservation
- visit the site.
If the land or property:
- is managed by us, we will be able to consider the application
- is not managed by us, we will let you know.
Land resource assessment and recommendation
Applications for activity on land and property managed by us will be assessed to see if it fits within the statutory framework we need to apply, and a recommendation is made.
If your application is successful we will get in touch to negotiate an agreement and discuss the terms and conditions.
If your application is declined, or you are not happy with the conditions of your agreement, you may be able to apply for a rehearing - see Rehearings and complaints.
