Some online services - including MyAuckland - will be unavailable from 5pm on Friday 20 March to 8am on Monday 23 March. This is due to a system upgrade.
Please plan ahead or complete your online request after services return on Monday 23 March.
We must approve any new materials and products that are used in infrastructure assets that will be operated and maintained by the council.
We do this to ensure we meet our guidelines and standards.
Auckland's investment in its infrastructure has a value of hundreds of millions of dollars in construction, maintenance, and renewal of assets.
The size and complexity of this investment requires that the lifespan of infrastructure assets provides best value to our ratepayers.
We currently specify a design life of up to and beyond 100 years for most infrastructure assets.
To get an approval to use new materials or products, complete the application form.
Once you have completed the form, email it to npm@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or post the form to:
