If your proposal is a boundary activity you may qualify to apply for a Permitted Boundary Activity (PBA). This is a faster and cheaper process than a resource consent.
Please sign-in or register to submit your application online using our easy-to-follow application forms.
Apply for Permitted Boundary Activity
It may take up to 10 working days to process your application. We will contact you if more information is required to support your application.
To qualify for a Permitted Boundary Activity, you will need to be able to demonstrate that you have one or more infringement(s) of only boundary rules, and that you have the written approval of your neighbour(s) property owners of the infringed boundary/boundaries.
The written approval of affected persons form is available on our Council Forms page. Please fill out Form 8B.

To note, you cannot apply if you are building close to a public boundary. A public boundary includes a boundary with any of the following:
