The District Plan is a legal document that helps us manage the city's natural and physical resources. Check your District Plan regulations on building activity and development in your area.
Everyday work that needs a building consent includes new buildings, structural additions and alterations, plumbing, drainage and decks more than one metre from the ground.
You will need resource consent if your building activity exceeds the rules of the district or regional plan in some way.
Auckland City Council assesses all applications for resource and building consent against the urban design goals for Auckland city. Make sure your project displays sound urban design principles.
