New Applications
Development approval is required for new buildings and structures and changes to or demolition of existing buildings and structures.
Development approval is made up of two separate consents:
Planning Consent - to ensure that development fits within the desired character of the City, that neighbours rights such as privacy are protected, Building Consent - to ensure the building is safe.
