Description: All resource consent applications or reviews granted, declined, found incomplete, returned or withdrawn by local authorities from 2014/15 to 2018/19. The Ministry for the Environment collects and compiles this data from New Zealand’s 78 Regional Councils, Territorial Authorities and Unitary Authorities as part of the National Monitoring System (NMS) for the Resource Management Act. The NMS monitors implementation of the RMA by local authorities and includes information on planning, consenting, monitoring and enforcement. Most of the questions asked in the NMS are the same from year to year. Some are added or dropped as information requirements change. A data dictionary is attached which describes the data collected about resource consent applications over time. The most recent (2018/19) data collection template and a guidance document to councils about how to fill out the collection template are also attached. Further information on the NMS and the dataset can be located on the Ministry website - https://www.mfe.govt.nz/rma/monitoring-rma-implementation
