P&D Fees and Charges Review 2021

We're proposing a number of changes to the fee schedules for work associated with building consents, resource consents, resource management engineering and other related fees.

The objective of the changes is to better align the initial fee paid with the actual and reasonable costs of completing the work. The proposed changes aim to better align the costs of consenting and approval processes with Council’s funding policy for Planning and Development, which is to achieve an 80/20 private/public split.

Changes are best summarised into three categories:

1. Proposed increases to the hourly charge out rates for officers
2. Proposed increases to building consent related fees
3. Proposed changes to resource consent, engineering and other related fees

The Local Government Act 2002, Building Act 1991 and Resource Management Act 1991 require that charges made for regulatory services are adopted following a Special Consultative Procedure.
