From 1 July 2025 we're changing to a fees up front payment system. This means that payment is made at the application stage and when we have granted the application we can issue it to the customer at the same time - speeding up the turnaround time on building consents. Any additional processing time (recoverable on an actual and reasonable basis, as per the Building Act 2004 s281B) and planning/engineering approval charges (if applicable) will be invoiced at the end of processing.

Antenno
Our Council is now on Antenno! Antenno is a mobile app that sends you alerts and notifications, about places and topics you care about, like when to put out your rubbish and recycling! And its free :) There are two ways you can use Antenno; receive notifications from council about the places you have marked as important to you, or reporting back to council on issues or feedback. Find out more about Antenno here.
