Building consents

Objective Build is Hutt City Council's online portal for lodging applications for building consent. Unless otherwise agreed, all applications for building consents should be lodged using Objective Build. We also use the GoGet inspection system to improve the quality of the building inspection process and the maintenance of inspection records.

The resource consents and building consents teams have made changes to how the front counter at Laings Road will operate. The counter has now reopened and is operating 9am-4pm, Monday to Friday.
