The Hauraki Team

The Hauraki District Council’s Building team is located in the Council’s Planning and Environmental Services Department. Our prime responsibility is to ensure compliance with statutory consents and legislative frameworks. A significant part of the divisions work is ensuring compliance with the Building Act 2004, the Health Act 1956 and the Local Government Act 2002.

Some of our day to day duties involve:

• receiving and processing building consent applications

• evaluating consent applications and issuing them when they meet legal requirements

• undertaking building inspections and to certify that structures meet the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code

• Council currently processes in excess of 700 building consents per annum.

Our team is made up of five main sections to ensure building consents are processed properly and on time. All team members work together to assist our customers with all building related enquiries.
