Abstract These Regulations, consisting of 58 sections divided into four Parts and one Schedule, are made under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and establish the National Environmental Standards for Telecommunication Facilities. The regulations prescribe standards for installing and operating antennas, cabinets, small cell units, and telecommunication lines. Part 2 classifies regulated activities for the purposes of section 87A of the RMA (which sets out the classes of activities for which a resource consent is required and the scope of the consent authority’s power to grant or refuse consent or to impose conditions). They specify to perform activity by the relevant district plan (classified as a controlled, restricted discretionary, discretionary, or non-complying activity, a resource consent will be required). For controlled and restricted discretionary activities, regulations 14 and 15 limit the scope of the consent authority’s power to grant or refuse consent or to impose conditions. The standard for each regulated activity is that the specified regulations in Part 3 must be complied with.
