Guidance information

Documentation must cover all items identified in bold text in this lodgement checklist. If any of this information is not
provided, the building consent application will be rejected.

Th checklist is designed to ensure applicants know up front what information is required, please ensure you read it and
answer all the applicable questions. Click here to submit your application online.

Standard of documentation
Section 7 of the Building Act defines ‘plans and specifications’ as the drawings, specifications and other documents according
to which a building is to be constructed, altered, demolished or removed.

Documentation is required to be of a high, professional standard. Refer to the following publication “Guide to applying for a
building consent” for a copy visit www.building.govt.nz.

Drawings must be:

• produced to scale on A3, A2 or A1 white paper; minimum font size 10 and for CAD 2.5
• produced in black ink or colour (no freehand drawings), each drawing must contain:
- site address and legal description (Lot and DP number)
- a drawing number and title
- designer’s name
- owner’s name
- be dated for version control.
• Specifications must be project specific and include relevant supporting documentation (installation details).

Fire Emergency New Zealand (FENZ): Refer to the Fire Safety Systems table on the following page and Fire Protection Guide
(AC1826 section 4) for the type of applications which require to be forwarded to FENZ for review. Click here for more
information about the Fire Engineering Brief process and to view the Fire Protection Guide.

Applications supported by a producer statement (PS): If an application is supported by a producer statement, the
architectural plans must be counter-signed by the Design Engineer confirming design details, unless the drawings are
provided by the Engineer who is on the Auckland Council Producer Statement Register. Click here for more information about
Producer Statements.

Specified systems: If this application involves specified systems, the application form must list all systems, provide system
design information (this means make, model and location for the specified system) and performance standards.

Deposit: All applications must be supported by a deposit payable at the time of lodgement. An invoice will be sent when
your building consent has been approved; the final invoice will include the full cost of processing the application as well as
fees for inspections and the code compliance certificate, less the deposit already paid.

Water meter applications: for new water meter connections download an application form and apply direct to WaterCare
(note independent charges will occur) please refer to www.watercare.co.nz or contact Veolia Water Limited (09) 295 0515

 Vehicle crossing
All building consent applicants should advise whether the property has an existing vehicle crossing that will be used to
serve the new building or development. If you do not have an existing crossing OR are building within 1.0m of the road
corridor OR a new building on a vacant lot, then a new vehicle crossing application must be submitted to Auckland Council
who act as the receiving agent for Auckland Transport. A Vehicle Crossing Application Form, and description of the
approval process, can be viewed and downloaded from the website www.at.govt.nz by typing “vehicle crossing” in the
search bar and selecting the Vehicle Crossing link. The completed application form, together with the fee, must be
submitted in person to your nearest Auckland Council Service Centre.
