New Zealand: standards and resource consent
Partial documentary review; human legal review pending. The first national standards took effect on 19 December 2025, with corrections from 17 August 2026. They cover public networks through regional consent conditions. Overflows and bypasses have a deferred timetable. Second-tranche odour and metals proposals are not treated as enacted law.
- Confirm public-network status, receiving environment, consent and each standard's transition rules.
- Outside the standards' scope, the Resource Management Act consenting regime still needs review.
