Are you demolishing a building?

You’ll need a building consent if you’re planning to demolish a building that’s:

• attached to another one, or
• more than three storeys high.

You’ll also need to comply with a number of hazard-management and other requirements, including repairing any damaged berms and public footpaths – so get in touch before you apply for a consent. We’ll also let you know whether you need a resource consent for the work.
