Of the 64 building consents issued this month 0 went over the statutory 20 days. The trend is again showing an excellent level of compliance.
For the month of February we received 45 building consent applications and received 31 replies to further information requests.
There were 80 consents processed for the month with 50% requiring RFIs (which totalled 317 questions).
There are now 40 consent applications which require re-assessment. The quality of applications is an area where further investigation is required. The move to online digital consenting, which involves rigorous pre-vetting checks of applications, may assist with reducing these numbers over time.
- There were 201 inspections carried out with only 55.7% passing. This will now require a further 89 recheck inspections which will also need to be allowed for within inspection timeframes.
- The dollar value for projects in February 2017 was again higher than the corresponding month in 2016 (+$1,520,318.00).
- The revenue received in February 2017 increased by $23,651.07 for the corresponding month in 2016.
- There were 12 new residential dwellings approved in February 2017 that had a combined estimated value of $3,461,488.00.
- As we enjoy the warmer weather the number of wood burner applications has slowed down with four approved for the month.
There are a significant number of projects awaiting payment and for responses to further information requests which will require a concerted effort by staff to finalise these applications.
Compliance with statutory 20-day requirements for building consent applications again reached 100% for the month. This is an excellent effort considering the amount of consents coming through which also includes a significant number of re-assessments for applications which required further information
CCC applications for the month of February were assessed and there was one project outside the 20-day statutory timeframe. This was an historic application (2008) that had been finalised with staff assisting the applicant to complete the process.
