All building consent applications with Matamata-Piako District Council are lodged and processed using the Objective Build cloud platform. Before applying online for a consent for the first time, you will need to create an account in Objective Build by providing your name, email address and choosing a secure password. To get started, watch the Objective Build video tutorials that guide you through the steps.

Objective Build has the application form and checklist built-in so the Build Waikato application forms and checklists are not required for applying for building consents. Building consent applications received before 1 July 2020 are being processed in our legacy system. 

You cannot start any building work until a building consent has been issued.
