If the building work you want to do does need a building consent, but it is minor or low risk, we can consider granting you an exemption from needing a building consent.
To be considered for an exemption, the building work must not have started.
| Description | Fee |
|---|---|
| Application for exemption from building consent requirements – Base fee (not refundable, additional charges may apply) | $515 |
| Extension of time to commence/complete building work under a building consent – Fixed Fee (not refundable, no additional charges) | $195 |
| Lapsing of building consent – Base fee (not refundable, additional charges may apply) | $195 |
We only accept online applications for this service. If you are unable to apply digitally, visit one of our libraries with council services for assistance in making your online application.
