Presented by Luke Hinchey and Justine Bray
When delivered online, this full day course is split over
two days to better manage the learning delivery. Participants should be
available 9am – noon both days to participate in the course and allowing for 30
mins of short breaks each morning
Designations
are a key tool under the RMA for consenting, constructing, operating
and future proofing many medium to large scale projects. The practice of
establishing, applying for and using designations under the RMA is
often not well understood. This is not surprising given that by far the
vast majority of development proposals are established through resource
consents, which are quite different to designations. Furthermore, there
are only limited people or organisations who can exercise designation
powers.
Understanding how designations work is an important area of knowledge
for all planners, particularly those interested in working with
councils, central government organisations and infrastructure providers
that help deliver public good projects. The presenters will use case
studies including AUT University’s South campus designation and that of
Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth for the New Zealand Transport Agency.
This one day course aims to give planners an insight into what
designations are & how they can be used. It will provide an
overview of their statutory framework under the RMA, the status of the
designation in a District Plan, how this may be altered and the purposes
of an outline plan of works. The course will also address conditions on
designations and some case law will be discussed.
NOTE
- If you are interested in attending a workshop please register early
to ensure it goes ahead. Minimum numbers are required for a workshop to
run. This generally ensures there is sufficient people to allow
different experience and views to be part of the discussion within the
course setting. Registration deadline is normally 2 - 3 weeks prior to
the event (depending on the venue). Thank you.
