Therefore earthworks should be addressed in your subdivision consent application. If these requirements cannot be met, a resource consent will be required. If these requirements cannot be met, a resource consent will be required. All earthworks in this Natural Area require a resource consent. There is an Erosion and Sediment Control Appendix in the Proposed District Plan.
Most earthworks require such controls.
The Appendix indicates what erosion and sediment controls are required when earthworks occur, so that the possibility of erosion adversely affecting other parts of the environment or sediment entering waterways is reduced. Before you commence any earthworks, please check with the owner of the property and with Consent Services at Waitakere City Council, to see if you are permitted to carry out the work. Any work that is not permitted will require a resource consent. Earthworks applications often do not provide important information like the volume of earthworks, number of vehicle movements, duration of works, north point on plans, and erosion and sediment control methods. Resource consent application forms, fee schedules and other information is available from the Council.
