Residential building consents

Applying for building consents is a complex process.

Processing times during festive period

Please note that the period from Saturday 20 December 2025 to Saturday 10 January 2026 (inclusive) is non-working days. This may affect the processing time for consent applications. Normal processing resumes Sunday 11 January 2026.

Unless you are a regular applicant who is very familiar with the building rules and regulations, we recommend you contact us for guidance on your project to prevent frustrating and possibly expensive delays further down the track.
