the length of costly hearings.
I wish to note here that although a very high proportion of
consent applications are processed as ‘non-notified’ this

6.4 It was suggested that the Climate Change Strategy memorandum be recommended to
the Policy and Planning Committee for consideration by iwi and District Council
representatives.
