Application information
Council do not currently accept building consents in electronic format. Please submit one copy of your application in hard
copy only (including all relevant documents).
Please ensure that you have compiled your documents carefully and completed the check sheet to avoid delays in processing your
application. Building Consent processing time is stopped whenever further information is required and starts again when the
information is received.
One hour or processing and three inspections have been allowed for in the fee that has been paid. If this consent takes more than
one hour to process or more inspections are required, you will incur additional fees.
Work must not start until all fees relating to the Building Consent are paid, the Building Consent is issued, and any Resource Consent
requirements have been dealt with (e.g. amended plans have been provided to comply with the Resource Management Plan) or a
Resource Consent has been granted. Under the Building Act 2004 this consent will lapse 12 months after issue if work has
not commenced.

Inspections
During the process of construction, inspections will be necessary to confirm all work complies with your approved Building Consent
documentation. Please ring the Council on 546 0334 well in advance of requiring an inspection to ensure that a time can be
arranged.
The inspections required will be set out in the Building Consent documentation issued by the Building Consent Authority. Failure to
have a prescribed inspection carried out and to be provided with confirmation that the work has been approved by the Inspecting
Authority may put the issue of the Code Compliance Certificate for the work at risk.
Code Compliance Certificate
A building consent is not completed until it has been issued with a Code Compliance Certificate. The Owner is required to complete a
separate application form to apply for a Code Compliance Certificate as soon as practicable after the building work is completed. In
any event no later than two years after the granting of the building consent Council is required to decide whether or not a Code
Compliance Certificate can be issued.
