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.
4.10 Service Stations

Explanation
Council considers that if the development of a service station is situated at least 100 metres from a residential use or community facility, effects can be appropriately mitigated so as not to cause any adverse impacts on those uses.
