Public Participation Process

Learn about the Plan Change Process

The process for public participation in the consideration of the proposal under the Act is as follows:

After the closing date for submission, Nelson City Council must prepare a summary of decisions requested by submitters and give a public notice of the availability of this summary and where the summary and submissions can be inspected.

Once the summary of decisions requested is publicly notified, the following persons may make a further submission in support of, or in opposition to, the submissions already made:

  • any person representing a relevant aspect of the public interest;
  • any person who has an interest in the proposal greater than the general public has; and
  • the local authority itself.

If a person making a submission asks to be heard in support of his or her submission, a hearing must be held.

Nelson City Council must give its decision on the provisions and matter raised in the submission (including its reasons for accepting or rejecting submissions) and give public notice of its decision within 2 years of notifying the proposal and serve it on every person who made a submission at the same time.
