You should know

As the owner of the business it is your responsibility to get all other necessary consents, permits and licences.
 
This includes those under:
  • the Building Act 2004
  • Resource Management Act 1991
  • any other relevant Auckland Council bylaws.
For new premises', we will contact you to arrange an opening inspection.
 
If satisfied, we will issue the certificate of registration.
 
A certificate of registration does not mean you have building consent or resource consent approval.
 
If you need a building consent, it is your responsibility to make sure you have a Code of Compliance Certificate or a Certificate of Public Use before you start trading.
 
Once you receive your registration certificate, display it publically in your premises.
 
We will inspect your business site annually. This is to make sure you are meeting the requirements.
