When done correctly, composting is good for the environment because it recycles organic materials, is a great fertiliser and improves soil structure
If you’re planning on running a composting operation of any size, there are some rules in the regional Water Plan and Waste Plan that you need to take into consideration.
These rules don’t necessarily mean you can’t run a composting operation if you don’t meet them; you may be able to get resource consent from us to allow you to run it appropriately.
If your composting does anything in the below list, get in touch with our consents team to find out if you need resource consent to help ensure there is no damage done to the environment.
* Overland flow is the movement of water over the land, downslope toward a surface water body.
You can contact our consents team by emailing consents.enquiries@orc.govt.nz or by calling 0800 474 082.
