Note that the percentages for resource consents processed within statutory 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.
