Applying for a building consent

Hutt City Council will be closed from Friday 25 December 2026 to Monday 4 January 2027 inclusive. Please note that the statutory clock for building consent applications stops from 20 December 2026 and recommences from 11 January 2027 as set out under the Building Act 2004. Any applications submitted after 22 November 2026 are unlikely to be approved before Christmas. Please submit any applications needed before Christmas well before this date to allow time for any requests for information (RFIs), as these suspend the statutory clock.
