2. Apply and pay for a camping ground licence​

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.

A certificate of registration does not mean you have building or resource consent approval.

If you need a building consent, it is your responsibility to make sure you have a Code Compliance Certificate or a Certificate of Public Use before you start trading.

Application fee

Fees are non-refundable and you must pay for a full year.
