Under our Revenue and Financing Policy, the Council can set fees and charges to recover costs associated with Council services. Some of these fees and charges are set by legislation, and others by the Council.
The Council reviews and consults on its fees and charges every year. (external link)
Read the full Schedule of Fees and Charges 2025-26 (pdf 814 KB)
You can also view the fees and charges under the tabs below. The fees and charges are effective from 1 July 2025. All charges include GST.
The Council sets fees and charges to help cover some of the costs of its functions, services, and activities, in line with its Revenue and Financing Policy. These charges take effect from 1 July 2025 and will stay in place until they are updated, which could happen during the year. The Chief Executive Officer may update Waste Management and Commercial charges as outlined in Section 3.11 of the Council’s Delegations Register. Government regulations set some of these fees and can’t be changed by the Council.
All fees and charges are GST-inclusive and are set charges unless stated otherwise.
Invoiced charges are payable on the 20th day of the month after the issue of an invoice. Credit terms for commercial activities may vary. The Council reserves the right to recover any additional charges where payments are accepted by credit card.
An activity should be paid for by the users or those causing the impact if they directly benefit from it or are responsible for the action, and the costs can easily be linked to them. This is done through fees and charges for the activity. For example, Port Tarakohe users directly benefit from the port’s facilities, so they are responsible for covering the costs. That's why user charges are the main way the port costs are funded.
If a fee, charge, or any other amount isn't paid by the due date, the Council may start taking steps to recover the debt.
The Council can also charge interest, starting from the date the debt was due, based on the rules in Schedule 2 of the Interest on Money Claims Act 2016 (or using a method that doesn’t exceed the interest calculated in that schedule).
Additionally, the Council can recover any costs it incurs in trying to collect the debt, including legal fees. Debt recovery action begins when the Council sends the debt to a debt collector or lawyer, even if no court proceedings are involved.

Port Tarakohe |
Charges from 1 July 2025 incl. GST |
|
Fees and charges set in accordance with S33R MTA and S12 LGA Charges are based on a fee per metre Length Overall (LOA) of the vessel, or part thereof, or berth size, whichever is the greater (incl. GST). The LOA is measured from the vessels bow tip at deck level to the outer edge of the transom or stern, not including the rudder, outboard or fittings. All vessels on the Marina must be insured and hold a current EWOF. Port Tarakohe has cameras located around the Port to monitor activity, health & safety and security risks. The footage from these cameras will be used to support enforcement of charges for the use of facilities at the port. Cargo transferred between vessels within the Port is liable to standard wharfage charges. All charges for berths, moorings, storage and leased areas are payable in advance. For any overdue payments the penalty/default interest within the agreement will apply. If none specified, then a penalty interest charge of 1% per month will be payable. All berth, mooring, storage and leased area users are required to sign a current port-user-agreement when requested by the Port Manager. Berth and mooring users without a port-user-agreement will incur a 10% surcharge. No storage is permitted on wharf structures unless specifically authorised by the Port Manager in writing. Storage rates apply after 24 hours of cargo/material arriving (allowance to be made for extenuating circumstances such as bad weather). Storage to be in the assigned areas only. Bulk cargo in transit may have extended demurrage with approval of the Port Manager. A fixed marine fuelling site, or any mobile fuelling where oils are transferred by way of a hose or similar between shore-and-ship, or ship-to-ship, is required to have a Tier-1 Fuel Transfer Site Oil Spill Contingency Plan approved in advance by the Council’s Regional On-Scene Commander. This does not apply to the transfer of self-contained fuel containers (tote tanks, sealed drums or similar) from shore-to-ship or ship-to-ship. The Council as Port Operator has full control over any activities conducted within the Port and therefore approval in writing is required before any fuel transfer is permitted – any approvals will also be subject to per litre charges. Discounts for long-term bulk contracts and long-term wharf berthage can be approved by the Property & Enterprises Manager. |

Charges for processing resource consents and undertaking related activities have been set in accordance with section 36 and section 36AAA of the RMA and section 150 of the LGA
To lodge a resource consent application with Council please email to: resourceconsentadmin@tasman.govt.nz
There are three ways the fees are structured:
Fixed Fee - A fixed charge payable prior to processing of a resource consent. The fixed fee charge is the full and final cost of processing of the consent application.
At Cost - At cost processing involves the charging of the actual and reasonable cost of works.
Deposit - A deposit is paid prior to processing commences. In accordance with section 36(5) of the RMA, the applicant is required to pay an additional charge to cover the actual and reasonable cost of items such as printing, advertising, postage, additional reports and commissioners that may be required in the processing of their application. An additional charge has been set for hard copy applications as the Council’s preference is electronic lodgement. This charge covers one hour of administration to print, scan and save.
Where the formula or standard fee is inadequate to enable the Council to recover the actual and reasonable costs that are or will be incurred to carry out an activity, or where the Council considers that additional charges are warranted, they may be imposed under section 36(5) RMA and are subject to rights of objection.
If a refund is due, the Council policy is to repay the person who originally supplied the deposit. Unless the Council receives written authority to the contrary, it cannot refund the money owing to someone else. Processing charges or credits of $20.00 or less are deemed uneconomic to process and the Council will not issue invoices or refunds if the total processing costs are within this $20.00 allowable variance.
If you feel that your consent specifically has been incorrectly or unfairly charged, you may write in and formally request a review of your charge (email: resourceconsentadmin@tasman.govt.nz). You need to provide us with a valid reason as to why your charge should be adjusted and we will consider your case.

|
|
The Forestry Monitoring Fees and Charges set out the fixed charges for inspections and sampling under the Resource Management (National Environment Standards for Commercial Forestry) Amendment 2023. Note: |
|
|
Monitoring of National Environmental Standards for Commercial Forestry permitted activities. |
Based on actual and reasonable costs |
Charges will include all reasonable staff time associated with processing and assessing applications (including plan change requests), excluding staff travel time to and from the site of application. Costs associated with consent processing and assessment, such as the use of consultants and laboratory costs, where in-house staff cannot provide these skills, will be recovered at actual costs. This policy also applies to the monitoring of consent conditions where an annual charge is not made or where costs exceed the payable annual charge and Council elects to recover the difference.
Where multiple resource consents are sought or required for related activities, the standard application lodgement fees (deposits) shall apply for each consent, except that the notification fee shall comprise one full deposit ($5,000.00) plus 20 percent for each additional consent required. The Resource Consents Manager or the Environmental Policy Manager has the discretion to determine a lesser total lodgement fee when there are large numbers of separate consents required
Council reserves the right to require further deposits, interim payments or advance payments of amounts to be determined by the Resource Consents Manager, Environmental Policy Manager, Group Manager - Service & Strategy or the Group Manager - Environmental Assurance if the processing activity is protracted over time or will incur costs over and above the listed deposit or standard fees. Deposits for the cost of hearings will be required when the need for a hearing is confirmed.
Where all or part of any deposit or charge is not paid, Council reserves the right not to process that application, or not to continue processing that application, in accordance with relevant statutory powers.
The cost of Councillor hearing panels is set by the Remuneration Authority and will be charged accordingly. Commissioner costs shall be charged at actual costs incurred. Where submitters request that a matter proceeds to a hearing before independent Hearing Commissioners they shall meet the costs additional to those that would have been incurred if the request had not been made (S.36(1)(ab) and (ad) RMA).
Reductions and waivers are generally not available. Reductions might be justified where the person liable to pay any charge reduces the costs to Council of carrying out its functions, including through self-regulation checks approved by Council.
Council will discount the charges for processing resource consent applications when applicable in accordance with the Resource Management (Discount on Administrative Charges) Regulations 2010.
For any Resource Consent application officially received by the Council and then withdrawn by the applicant, the Council will charge for the time spent setting up and/or processing the consent to the stage of it being withdrawn. This will be charged at the hourly rate set out in this schedule.
Please note that the deposits listed in this schedule do not always cover all of the costs of processing an application. Where processing costs exceed the specified deposit, the additional costs will be invoiced separately.
Annual charges shall be due on 1 October or the 20th of the month following the date of invoicing, whichever is later, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Council. A standard administration fee of $130.00 will be applied when consent is deemed by the Council as not currently given effect to and the ability to give effect is not currently present. Excludes permits to take water, full fees apply. Wastewater permits are exempt.
A 50% rebate applies to the annual charges for consents with consent-specific monitoring programmes where monitoring costs are being recovered separately. Specific arrangements will be made in relation to approved self-regulation inspections.
Where a consent has expired and the activity is continuing per section 124 of the RMA while an application for a replacement consent is being processed, the applicant shall continue to be liable to pay any annual and/or monitoring charge.
Hydroelectric power generation (≥ 2.6 l/s), suction dredging, and land-based fish farming annual charges will be based on the discharge fee and not the water take fee as long as the take and discharge are of equal volume. If there is a consumptive off-take then that take will attract the annual charge as for other consumptive takes. Consents to take will still attract the minimum standard water permit annual charge.
Annual charges levied on holders of resource consents will be recovered whether permits are exercised or not.
Where a water take consent is restricted to winter-only abstraction a 50% discount will apply.

Notes on landfill charges from Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Draft Business Plan 2025-2026: |
|
|
*This charging table includes charges for Class 3 waste that meets the criteria that allows it to be disposed received at Eves Valley. Disposal at Eves Valley landfill will be by appointment only. HAIL, hazardous material and contaminated soil requiring disposal to York Valley Landfill remains at the general waste rate. A separate charge is maintained for Sawdust and Light wastes (not including loads of polystyrene) at York Valley landfill. This rate will remain at $375 per tonne. The intended outcome of this higher fee is to encourage the reuse or diversion of Sawdust and Light wastes from landfills. This Sawdust and Light waste fee accounts for the difference in density and lack of compaction of sawdust and other light waste loads have when compared to general refuse. The fee better reflects of the value of airspace consumed by sawdust and light wastes. Light wastes are wastes that - in the opinion of the NTRLBU and its operators - are significantly less dense than general waste. For example, wastes that contain more than 25% polystyrene by volume. |
