Enquiry
The reporter requested further clarification following yesterday’s response about consenting requirements for emergency housing facilities.
Response
Information provided:
Council won’t be changing any current processes which means no change to the district plan. As contracted facilities are confirmed council will assess what, if any, consent changes are required and will help to make that process as efficient as possible for all involved.
The type of consent that may be required will depend on circumstances such as the type of facility, location of the facility, and what it will be exactly used for.
