The Christchurch City Council is responsible for issuing building consents within Christchurch and Banks Peninsula.
A building consent is a formal approval to undertake building work in accordance with approved plans and specifications. A building consent establishes that your proposed building work complies with the building code.
After we have issued the building consent we undertake inspections during construction and issue a code compliance certificate when the building work is all completed.
