Limited right of appeal

Appeal rights

After we created the proposed Auckland Unitary Plan, an Auckland Unitary Plan Independent Hearings Panel considered submissions from the public and made recommendations. We made a decision on each recommendation.

In certain circumstances, anyone could appeal to the Environment Court or the High Court against a decision we made on the recommendations.

These appeal rights are set out in section 156, 157 and 158 of the Local Government (Auckland Transitional) Provisions Act 2010 (LGATPA).
