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.

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.
