The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is leading New Zealand's response to H5 bird flu (H5N1). You can help protect our native birdlife and local poultry by knowing what to do. If you see three or more sick or dead wild birds together, please don't touch or move them. Report them to MPI and follow the latest advice.

The Building Act 2004 requires that all work must be done in accordance with the plans and specifications approved in the Building Consent. If you propose to do any work that differs from your Building Consent plans, you will need to apply to amend your Building Consent.
The process for obtaining an amendment is the same as obtaining the original consent. It is very important that at the time of inspection the Building Consent documents accurately reflect what has actually been built.
An application form for amendment to a building consent can also be found on our Applying for a Building Consent page.
Please note, the link for the form will take you through to the Simpli website where you can download the application.
