Document expectations
Why document order is important
Consistent document order makes it faster for our team to locate the information they are looking for to help make their decision to grant.
We expect:
- files will be combined by the applicant into the format below, and
- one single file is provided in each upload area, and
- documents meet the minimum benchmark – refer Guidance to applying for a building consent (residential buildings) on our website, and
- all documents are searchable PDF – refer to searchable PDF information [PDF, 201 KB] on our website.
Document submission order

Record of title |
Note: no underlying record of title is required where title hasn’t been issued yet for new subdivisions with more than 10 allotments. However, in these instances you must supply a copy of the proposed Land Transfer Plan which shows the location of allotments, their dimensions, and proposed easements under the subdivision. | |
