I've been involved in the development of the new NZDA BOP branch range at the TECT All Terrain Park in Tauranga, which is on Council land so gone though all the pain and bureaucracy your just embarking on!.
Feel free to give me a PM if you would like get the background on how we went about the process. We have had to prepare quite a lot of documentation for Council including:
-Development and overall management plans
-lead and noise management plans
-lease document
-Range design and certification
I expect you will need to do the same, so hopefully we can save you some time
Cheers
Grant
