Building & Resource Consent Christmas Processing Times for 2022-2023
Council would like to inform the public that any Building or Resource consents received after 5.00pm – Monday 21st November 2022 are not guaranteed to be processed before Christmas, although we will do our best to make sure all complete consent applications are issued within their statutory timeframe.
If you want your Resource or Building Consent to be processed before Christmas (barring any requests for further information which stop the processing clock), the application needs to be submitted before 5.00pm Monday 21st November 2022.
Building Inspections
Building inspections will be done through to 5pm Wednesday the 21st of December 2022 and these should be booked no later than Monday the 19th. Please don’t leave it until the last minute!
Inspections can be booked again from Wednesday the 4th of January 2023 and the earliest inspections undertaken on Friday 6th January 2023.
LIM Applications
If you need a LIM before Christmas you need to apply for it on or before the 9th of December 2022.
Legislation (The Building Act 2004 and the Resource Management Act 1991) states that the period between 20 December and 10 January each year is excluded from the working days count for all timeframes. This means that any weekdays during this time willnot be counted as working days.
