The Resource Management activity ensures the environmental effects of development (eg, subdivision) and building projects are reduced, minimised or mitigated and any new development in the District complies with the requirements of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Ruapehu District Plan.

Enquiries may be made at Service Centres to review building files. Please discuss, with Customer Services Officers or Building Inspectors, how Council can help you if you are considering purchasing a property or making alterations. All forms and criteria for building consents are available from Service Centres.
