Project information memorandum (PIM)
A project information memorandum (PIM) is a detailed report relating to a specific project on a property. It discloses information that may affect approval for a proposed building project, such as:
- need for an evacuation plan approved by Fire and Emergency New Zealand
- potential erosion, slippage or flooding
- the presence of any hazardous contaminants known to the Council
- details on stormwater and sewerage systems
- any development contributions payable
- other relevant authorisation requirements (resource consents and bylaw approvals).
While not mandatory, PIMs can reduce delays in obtaining approvals and highlight potential issues in large projects.
