Note that the percentages for resource consents processed within time limits should be interpreted with caution as in some cases a local authority may process a small number of consents of a given type. A consent application may also be processed outside of the time limit at the request of the applicant and in this situation does not reflect any inefficiency on the part of the local authority. Some local authorities' computer systems did not allow them to account for non-working days and/or section 37 extensions and they may appear to have more decisions outside of statutory timeframes than there actually were.
