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.

Things to know?
Dogs are allowed but must be on lead, except for a small portion of the reserve that fronts Centennial Avenue (State Highway 26) and the area occupied by Tui Park Bowling Club. Most of the reserve is currently undeveloped and leased out for grazing. Tui Park Bowling Club leases and manages the bowling greens (access on Gilchrist Street). Parts of the reserve along the stream, are prone to flooding. There is parking for bowling club patrons at the bowling club. There are also parking bays along Gilchrist Street.
