We're going to get tougher on making decisions to refuse applications that are not up to quality

  • so you need to play your part to help us be able to make a decision
  • and our job is to make a decision (ie grant, refuse or issue a RFI).

To help make processing of your consent more efficient, here are some tips

  • provide the supporting documents in the requested order
  • check ALL your information before submitting your application, in particular:
    • correct owner and legal description details
    • the right wind and earthquake zone
    • your plans clearly show what is included in your application (eg tell us what buildings on the site plan are not part of your consent application)
    • you have provided everything - specifications, percolation test, etc
    • associated producer statement(s) have correct details on all the documentations that come with it.

A quality application means

  • we don't have to spend unnecessary time hunting through your application to find a document,
  • so you'll only be charged for time spent on processing of your consent,
  • AND it will help get your consent faster!
