1. Know what you need to provide
You'll need to provide supporting documents and plans with your application to show:
- the type of building work you're doing
- how the work will meet the Building Code
- who will be doing the work.
To avoid delays and extra costs, it's important that you provide detailed, high-quality information.

3. Submit your application
Our preference is for applications to be submitted through the Simpli portal online.
Applying online allows us to process your application faster and you will be able to track the processing of your application online. You will also save money as you will not need to supply printed plans.
Granted consents submitted online will be sent to customers electronically.
