Building and Planning Consent Christmas Processing Times: Both the Building Act 2004 and the Resource Management Act 1991 stop the statutory processing clock over Christmas and New Year. The period beginning 20 December and ending with the close of 10 January is excluded from the 20-working day timeframe which means that during these dates the processing clock stops. Therefore, any Resource or Building Consent submitted on or after Friday, 20th December 2024 will not begin processing until Monday, 13th January 2025 due to the Christmas/New Year break. If you want your Resource or Building Consent to be processed before Christmas (barring any further information requests which stop the processing clock). Please submit your application prior to Friday, 22 November 2024.
