How long will my building or resource consent application take?
If you’re intending to apply for a resource or building consent, here’s our average processing time. This gives you an indication of the timeframes you can expect. But please remember, every application is different and more complex applications will generally take longer.
Building consents: average processing time for the last quarter (June to Aug 2020) = 7 working days
Resource consents: average processing time for the last quarter (June to Aug 2020) = 19 working days
These times don’t include periods where we’re waiting on further information from applicants. These holding periods can really delay the processing of applications, so we encourage you to make sure your application is complete and ready to go when you lodge it. If you’re coming in to lodge your application, why not call us to set up a time to go through it to make sure it has all the information we need.
