Boundary activities

Find out about the boundary activities as outlined in the Hutt City District Plan.

Permitted boundary activities

Government changed the Resource Management Act in 2017 to provide a faster, more straightforward approval process for small scale activities where only a boundary rule is breached. These are called deemed permitted boundary activities.

• For detailed information take a look at:
  Information sheet 5 – Information for applicants: Deemed permitted boundary activities - on the Ministry for the Environment’s resource management process information page. (scroll down to see the information sheets).
• To be a deemed permitted boundary activity, all neighbours with an infringed boundary must provide their written approval to the proposal. This is submitted to Council with the other necessary information.
