Events are fun to attend but they can be a lot of work behind the scenes- especially when you need a resource consent.
We work with the Events team at Auckland Council including having obtained a blanket resource consent for events on roads and in reserves within specific areas.
As part of this Planning Plus® devised a set of parameters under which events of different sizes could operate. These parameters gave the Auckland Council resource consent team certainly about the scale of potential adverse effects. This approach greatly assisted the Auckland Council Events team as resource consents for individual events would not be required for the following five years; this reduced time delays and costs associated with obtaining individual resource consents.
By thinking outside the box Planning Plus® was able to identify a solution that worked for our client and saved them considerable time and money, and still gave the consenting authority assurances regarding the type and scale of environmental effects that would be created.
