RMA forms

The RMA forms set out in legislation prescribe the information required when engaging in RMA processes. This page provides links to these forms which identify the information you will be required to provide when applying for a resource consent, when getting involved in processes to do with a resource consent, engaging in council plans and designations.

Each council has their own prescribed forms on their website and it is recommended that you use the council specific form when engaging in RMA processes.
