Incompatible Activities - Incompatible Activities
What Council Is Doing
Council is able to control the effects of new developments through provisions in its District Plan. Zones set environmental standards, which reflect the desired values and environmental outcomes within that zone. Performance standards also control potential nuisance effects of activities, and conditions may be imposed on resource consent applications to control these nuisances.
In 2016/17, 61% of consents had conditions imposed to prevent incompatible activities. In 2017/18, 57% of resource consent applications were approved with conditions on noise, dust, vibration, glare and rehabilitation. This figure was 46% in 2018/19. Conditions of resource consent are not likely to prevent effects of loud music in residential areas. This issue is addressed through the excessive noise provisions under the Resource Management Act 1991.
