The Papakura District Council
determines, from time to time, various levies and charges that will be
imposed on defined building works, or applying to specific localities,
or applying to defined activities.
These levies and
charges include:
The amount of these levies and
charges, and their applicability, is available
on request.
Fixed Fee Projects
The Fixed Fee Option is
available for certain categories of projects.
Council reserves the
right to amend or adjust the fixed fee where the project is more complex
than the basis upon which the fee is calculated.
The Fixed Fee covers
the following costs payable to Council in relation to the building
project:
Additional costs not covered
by the fixed fee are:
(a) failed inspection
(b) inspection requested
but work not ready for inspection
Additional costs will be
charged to the applicant at the standard rates.
Payment may be made in cash, by cheque or EFTPOS. For information on
the fee applicable to your requirements, please refer to the Papakura District
Council Schedule of Fees and Charges available online
here or at the Council offices.
Unless otherwise specified,
applications for
Resource Consents, Subdivisions and Requests
for Plan Changes will be processed and charged
to cover actual and reasonable costs incurred.
The charges will
include, but not be limited to:
-
Actual time taken at the
listed hourly
charge-out rate.
-
Recovery of actual
disbursement costs incurred plus an administration fee.
-
Recovery of fees charged by
professional consultants plus an administration charge where
specialist services are required
More complex and larger
projects may require the Council to refer documentation to specialists
for checking code compliance and to provide inspection services. Where
this is required, additional fees will be payable. These may include,
but not limited to, ‘Engineering Structure’, ‘Engineering Land
Stability’, ‘Fire Planning and Precautions’, ‘Heating, Ventilation and
Air Conditioning’, ‘Electrical Design Check’, and ‘Mechanical Services’.
BRANZ and BIA levies are based on the value (including GST) of the project.
Applicants may be required to substantiate the valuation submitted for a
project.
The fees payable on issue of building consent include provision for an
estimated number of building inspections for the project. Inspections
required in excess of that number caused by the project not being ready
when an inspection is requested or the initial inspection failed and a
re-inspection is required will be an additional charge at the inspection
rate current at the time of issuance of the Building Code Compliance
Certificate.
Please
refer to the Papakura District
Council Schedule of Fees and Charges available online
here or at the Council offices.
