With the festive season rapidly approaching, here is a reminder about the Council’s timeframes when dealing with building consents, resource consents and LIM applications. Building & Resource Consent
Pre- Christmas application deadline: 20 November 2015
The statutory 20 working day processing timeframe for consents
will be suspended
from Sunday 20 December 2015 to Monday 11 January 2016.
Appropriately completed consent application forms and other required documentation must be submitted to the Council no later than Friday 20 November 2015, or we MAY NOT be able to provide consent approval prior to Christmas.
Processing of consents will continue through the “suspended” period, however staff numbers will be reduced and the Council will be closed from 3.00pm Christmas Eve to Tuesday, 5 January 2016.
LIMs
Pre- Christmas application deadline
The statutory 10 working day
processing time frame for LIMs
will be suspended from Friday 25 December 2015 to Friday 15 January 2016 (inclusive).
Appropriately completed LIM application forms and payments must be submitted to the Council no later than Thursday 10 December for LIMs required prior to Christmas.
URGENT LIMs applications, will not be accepted after Monday 15 December. Please note: Applications will only be accepted if resourcing permits.
Processing of LIMs may continue (as and when possible) through the “suspended” period, however this can’t be guaranteed due to reduced staff numbers and the Christmas closure from Christmas Eve until Tuesday 5 January 2016.
