Like all planning documents, RPS Change 1 is complex to navigate and understand. If you would like some assistance, a ‘Friend of Submitters’ is available during the submission period to assist submitters. The Friend of Submitters is fully independent and has not been involved in developing RPS Change 1. You can contact her by sending an email to Friend.of.Submitter@gw.govt.nz.

The scope of a further submission is narrower than the first round of submissions. A further submission is a submission made in support of, or opposition to, another person or party’s submission point made in the first round of submissions.
Further submissions must be limited to those matters raised in submissions. It provides an opportunity to assess the effect an original submission may have on you, and to have your views considered by the Council alongside the original submission.
Who could have made a further submission
A further submission may only be made on the RPS Plan Change 1 by a person who:
- Represents a relevant aspect of the public interest; and
- Has an interest in the proposal that is greater than the interest of the general public.
(an explanation for how you qualify for this category must also be provided)
Or,
- The local authority itself.
- If you require more space than the table in the form provides you can attach additional pages as required.
- When using the Further Submission form (PDF 234 KB) you MUST complete all sections of this form for the further submission to be accepted.
(Please note – an electronic copy is our preferred method)
Due to delays in postal services and the timeframe for making further submissions we highly recommend that an electronic copy of your Further submission is provided by the closing date.
You must send a copy of your further submission to the original submitter.
Any person making a further submission must serve a copy of that submission on the original submitter no later than five working days after the submission has been provided to Greater Wellington. Each submitter has an address for service available here.
If you have made a further submission on a number of original submissions, then copies of your further submission will need to be served with each original submitter.
If you have any questions regarding the Further Submission process, please email our independent Friend of the Submitter at: Friend.of.Submitter@gw.govt.nz
Note that under the RMA all submissions and accompanying data must be made available for public inspection. To achieve that, we will make all Further submissions and accompanying data public on our website.
For more information regarding this process and your privacy please view our Privacy Statement (PDF 218 KB) .
The Council has extended the timeframe for the lodgment of further submissions from 10 working days to 11 working days under Section 37 of the Resource Management Act 1991. This extension has been provided to enable more time for further submissions to be made. Here is the document that sets out the reasons in full for this extension of time: Memorandum - Further Submission period – Extension (PDF 288 KB) .
