A Building Consent is required when you are looking to relocate a building onto a new property or change the location of its current site.

Council needs details of the termination of all services on the old site and any demolition or site works that may be required to move the building. 

When you are looking to install a relocated building onto a new site a Building Consent is required for the new building works such as site works, foundations, plumbing and drainage services and any remedial works required by the relocation.  Any alterations or additions you are proposing to carry out must also be covered by a Building Consent. 

Note:   If the place of origin and the new site are in different Territorial Authority areas you will need to apply to both Territorial Authorities for the various approvals required. 

Planning Requirements 

Resource Consent may be required if you are proposing to relocate an existing building on a new site.  When considering an application, the Council will have regard to matters such as the age and design of the building; its soundness; its appearance and the suitability of the buildings for its intended use.
