*Please note: Only building permits, drainage permits, and building consents are to be issued under this request, land use consents, subdivision, earthquake or planning information are not authorised.

The customer will receive all building consent related information, we don’t search for individual documents except those indicated above. Please be aware that prior to the Building Act 1991 (passed in July 1992) plans were not required to be kept on record so there may be limited or no information on properties that are older than 1993.

Hand written records prior to the building act are kept in the archives area of the main library – these are handwritten entries into a ledger, there are no plans held at the library.
