The building consent process
Generally, all consent applications will follow a six-stage process:
lodgement, planning, drainage, structural, finalising details, quality
control then approval.
A series of tasks are
carried out at each of these stages. Each consent application will include a different set of tasks -
these will depend on the nature of the consent.
The processing time for a building consent application is 20 working days.
The longest stage in the process is checking and finalising the report.

Code compliance certificate applications (CCCs) generally follow a 4-stage process.
This takes 20 working days from when the CCC application is lodged.
