Application for consent to burn vegetation.
You need written consent to burn vegetation on a Crown pastoral lease.
If you want to burn timber, trees or bush, you will need to complete the discretionary pastoral activity application form to fell, sell, remove, destroy, or burn timber or bush.
To apply for consent, complete this form.
You must provide enough information to allow the Commissioner of Crown Lands (the Commissioner) to decide on your application. To avoid delays, we recommend providing as much information as possible. We will contact you if more information is required, or if we need to seek information from other sources. If we cannot get sufficient information, your application may be declined.
At a minimum, please check you have provided:
- your details
- details about the property
- details about your proposed activity
- details about your proposed activity’s location, including a map
- a description of any potential effects of the proposed activity on inherent values (see the Inherent values framework)
The Commissioner may consider other matters they consider relevant to the application.
As part of processing your application, your form and supporting information may be shared with other parties. More information on this process can be found at the back of this form.
If you have any questions about what is required, email your Pastoral Specialist or pastoral@linz.govt.nz
Please send your completed form and any supporting information to your Pastoral Specialist. If you do not know who your Pastoral Specialist is, send it to pastoral@linz.govt.nz
