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.
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 half day online course aims to introduce designations to those planners who have little experience in their use. 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.
