Dear Queenstown-Lakes District Council,

Council told me it does not exempt developers from the conditions of their consent - yet by not enforcing compliance of my neighbour's consent that is precisely what you’ve done.

Section 80 of the LGA states that:

(1) If a decision of a local authority is significantly inconsistent with, or is anticipated to have consequences that will be significantly inconsistent with, any policy adopted by the local authority or any plan required by this Act or any other enactment, the local authority must, when making the decision, clearly identify—
(a) the inconsistency; and
(b) the reasons for the inconsistency; and
(c) any intention of the local authority to amend the policy or plan to accommodate the decision.

It is not consistent with the District Plan Rules or the RMA that Council allows a fraudulent resource consent application and earthworks in excess of 833m3 on a residential section without consent or affected person approval. Please may I view the above information on this inconsistency as it pertains to RM130501.

Yours faithfully,

Annie Weston

Dear Natalie Sinclair,

It's been more than 20 working days since I asked for this information. When can I expect a reply please?

Yours sincerely,
