achieve excellence in the management of health and safety at all of our workplaces. We recognise the

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
does not mean that few or no people were involved in these
consent processes. In fact, as in previous years, there was

through consultation and/or written approvals with hundreds

There was considerable public
involvement in the
including, but not restricted to,
the Local Government Act 2002, the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

the development of Māori capacity to contribute to decision-making processes (schedule 10 of the
