ERMA did not err in law: a generic application is permissible so long as ERMA is satisfied there is sufficient information to undertake the s45 and s44A assessments; ERMA may obtain further information and impose controls during processing to refine scope provided controls do not enlarge the application or deny affected parties opportunity to be heard; there is no statutory obligation on applicants to undertake broad consultation with Māori beyond that which is required, and ERMA did not err in relying on existing consultation and submissions to satisfy ss5,6 and 8; appeal dismissed.
