Land repair How we can help you

You may have to make some repairs to your land and to help you with this process Environment Canterbury and your local council are working together to develop a joint streamlined resource consent process. If your land works require a resource consent - to comply with the rules in ECan’s regional plans and your council’s plans - you will only need to contact your local council, and they will take care of the Environment Canterbury resource consent process for you.

What do I need to do? If you live in , the first thing to do is to go to the land repair page on the Christchurch City Council’s website. In most cases, you will be allowed to undertake land repair work, subject to certain conditions, without a resource consent.
