  Resource Consent Application

  Building Consent

P.I.M ( project information memorandum )

A Project Information Memorandum (PIM) is not an authorisation to commence work. You must wait until the building consent has been approved before commencing any work on your project.

You will need a PIM for all building work. A building consent cannot be granted by unless a PIM for that building work has been issued.

Except for internal alterations and minor works, you are encouraged to apply for a PIM prior to the building consent application. For major developments, new houses, large alterations and new commercial or industrial buildings, applying for a stand alone PIM at the earlier stage will be useful in establishing the feasibility and design of the project.

For smaller works you may apply for the PIM with your building consent application.

Resourse Consent Documentation

The Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) sets guidelines for the use of New Zealand's natural and physical resources, in both the urban and rural environment.

Local authorities (ie, district, city and regional councils) are required to implement the RMA and oversee its day to day running. The main way we do this is by drawing up district and regional plans - documents that interpret the objectives of the RMA and translate these into actual rules and laws that apply within specific districts and regions. 

Permission must be obtained to carry out activities that are restricted or controlled by the rules set out in the district plan. This is done by applying for a resource consent.

Building Consent Documentation

When you are constructing a new building, doing additions or internal or external alterations to your home (or any other buildings on your property) you will need to consider both building and planning controls.

A building consent allows you to carry out building work in accordance with the consent, associated plans and specifications.

1. A building consent can be lapsed if work has not commenced within twelve months of the date the consent was issued
   
   
2. The legislation allows twenty four months to finish a project from the date the building consent has been granted and apply for a Code Compliance Certificate
   
   
3. A Code Compliance Certificate will be issued against the original building consent. This means that if you want to introduce changes from what was originally intended, you will need to apply for a building consent amendment. If you do not apply for an amendment there is a risk that these changes will be regarded as unconsented.
