Resource Management (Forms, Fees, and Procedure) Regulations 2003 (SR 2003/153).

Pursuant to section 360(1) of the Resource Management Act 1991, these Regulations establish Forms, Fees, and Procedure related to the Resource Management. The use of a form is not invalid only because it contains minor differences from a form prescribed by these regulations as long as the form that is used has the same effect as the prescribed form and is not misleading. Forms must be accompanied by required documents. A person who appeals a decision under clause 14(1) or 60 of Schedule 1 of the Act must, after lodging either form 7 or form 7B (as appropriate) with the Environment Court, serve a copy of that form on— (a) the local authority that made the decision, within 30 working days of being served with a notice of the decision; and (b) if the appeal relates to a regional coastal plan, the Minister of Conservation, within 30 working days of being served with a notice of the decision; and (c) every person who made a submission on the provision or matter to which the appeal relates, within 5 working days after the notice is lodged. All proceedings and documents must be lodged with the proper office of the Environment Court in accordance with subclause (2). Proceedings and documents relating to matters originating in the districts or regions listed in column 1 of the table must be lodged with the office of the Environment Court.
