A deposit is required at the time you submit your resource consent application. If the cost of processing your application is more than the deposit you will be invoiced for the additional amount once a decision has been made on your application. Resource management charges and deposit amounts are set annually through Council’s Annual Plan and the full list can be viewed in the Fees & Charges.
