A new online building consenting system is promising to make life a little easier for those in the building business.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council will switch to ‘Objective Build’ in late March/ early April 2023, providing a streamlined and real-time platform to track building consent progress online, and receive a notification when there’s an update.
All new and existing building consents will be moved to the new system.
Council’s building services manager Nigel Mogford says Objective Build shows council’s commitment to giving customers a more user friendly, and transparent experience.
This technology can help with that.
The new system promises to be very simple and easy to use for new and first-time consent applicants. And applicants with consents still in-progress will be migrated over automatically.
There will be an Objective Build expert on hand at each session to answer any pātai/question.
Six councils are using Objective Build already and around 50 more are expected to follow.
Tauranga City Council will also make the switch to the same online system shortly after Western Bay giving the industry a consistent experience across the rohe/region.
