FEES INFORMATION
FEE REQUIRED: $730
Section 36 of the Resource Management Act 1991 deals with administrative charges and allows a local authority to levy
charges that relate to, but are not limited to, carrying out its functions in relation to receiving, processing and granting of
resource consents (including certicates of compliance and existing use certicates).
An initial fee for processing this application will be charged at the time of lodgement in accordance with QLDC’s fee
schedule. This initial fee must accompany your application for processing to commence. If the initial fee is insucient to
cover the actual and reasonable costs of work undertaken on the application you will be required to pay any additional
amount and will be invoiced monthly as work on the application continues. Please note that if the Applicant has
outstanding fees owing to Council in respect of other applications, Council may choose to apply the initial fee to any
outstanding balances in which case the initial fee for processing this application may be deemed not to have been paid.
Invoiced sums are payable by the 20th of the month after the work was undertaken. If unpaid, the processing of an
application, provision of a service, or performance of a function will be suspended until the sum is paid. You may also be
required to make an additional payment, or bring the account up to date, prior to milestones such as notication, setting
a hearing date or releasing the decision. In particular, all charges related to processing of a resource consent application
are payable prior to issuing of the decision. Payment is due on the 20th of the month or prior to the issue date –
whichever is earlier.
If your application is notied or requires a hearing you will be requested to pay a notication deposit and/or a hearing
deposit. An applicant may not oset any invoiced processing charges against such payments.
Section 357B of the Resource Management Act provides a right of objection in respect of additional charges. An objection
must be in writing and must be lodged within 15 working days of notication of the decision.

APPENDIX 1 // Assessment of Eects on the Environment (AEE)
Section 88 and the 4th Schedule of the RMA set out the information required for making an application and an
assessment of eects on the environment. Depending on the complexity of the application, the Council may require these
are strictly adhered to. Generally, an assessment using the following criteria will be sucient.
Your application should include an assessment of the proposal against the matters of discretion and policies in Chapter
32: Protected Trees of the Proposed District Plan.
The Matters of Discretion for removal, pruning or works to Arrowtown Character Trees are:
SIGNIFICANT TRIMMING, REMOVAL, DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE:
The signicance of the character, cultural and amenity values of the tree(s) and the degree to which the proposed
trimming, works or removal would impact on those values.
The ecient use of land and resources, including reasonable sunlight into dwellings and building maintenance.
Whether the proposed works would maintain the values for which the tree was protected.
The merits of any substitute or compensating tree planting or landscaping.
Whether the removal of the tree or group of trees would create a cumulative adverse eect due to previous tree
removals, whether on the same property or not.

WORKS WITHIN THE ROOT PROTECTION ZONE:
Potential eects on the health or stability of the tree or hedgerow
Whether best practice methods will be used
Whether any alternatives are available
POLICIES RELATING TO ARROWTOWN CHARACTER TREES IN PART 32.2.3 OF THE PROPOSED
DISTRICT PLAN
Protect or enhance Arrowtowns unique character and amenity by recognising the contribution trees and groups
of trees make to Arrowtowns landscape, cultural identity and historic heritage values.
Acknowledge the important role trees and groups of trees have in contributing to the character and historic
heritage of Arrowtown, despite that on an individual basis a tree or group of trees may not be signicant
in stature.
Have regard to the reasonable and ecient use of land anticipated in the Arrowtown Residential Historic
Management zone, while ensuring the removal or modication of trees or groups of trees does not lead to the
cumulative loss of Arrowtowns heritage character and amenity values.
The removal, pruning and works to a protected tree listed in Schedule 32.8 are not limited to the matters set out above,
however they can be used for assistance with your AEE. Proposals to remove a Protected Tree could require a more
detailed application.
