Week 3 - AEE

Step 1: Identify the activities for which a resource consent is sought. 

Fully understanding the environmental effects of an activity is essential for the proper preparation of an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE). You will need to think about your proposal and how it will change the site you intend to use/develop.

Step 2: Conduct a Site Inspection

What does it look like ?

• Natural features
• Adjacent uses
• Physical features

For example:

• Is the site flat or sloping?
• Are there any significant trees or vegetation?
• Are there any unusual features?
• What is on the neighbouring properties?
• Is there access to Council services?
• Archaeological sites ?
