Disclaimer

The information in this online tool is presented only as a guide as to whether or not you will need a consent for your project. It does not supply a definitive legal answer and should not be relied upon to supply this. If you need more information, seek the opinion of a Licensed Professional such as a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) or Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng).
LBPs are people who have shown through assessment that they meet the standard of skill and competence required in particular areas of building practice such as structure and weathertightness. They are assessed before getting a licence and need to keep their knowledge up-to-date to be re-licensed.
The council accepts no responsibility for the outcome provided by the tool if you have provided incomplete or inaccurate answers.
Your resource consent outcome has been assessed under the Auckland Unitary Plan (operative in part) excluding properties in the Hauraki Gulf Islands.
Additional consent(s) may be required if your site has been identified as being in a natural hazard area (e.g. flooding, soil instability) or if your property is under a special overlay (e.g. heritage protection)
