Minor Variations and Amendments

There are two types of changes that can be made to building work under a Building Consent - Amendments and Minor Variations.

Minor Variations are minor changes from the consented building design and/or scope of work which can be approved on site.

Major changes require an Amendment Application.

An Amendment is a proposed major variation to a Building Consent. It uses the same form as for Building Consent applications (Form 2).

An amendment requires details and documentation supporting the proposed changes. These must show how the changes comply with the Building Code. Examples include technical and manufacturers specifications and plans. A full set of plans with any changes clouded needs to be lodged.

The processing time will be charged at an hourly rate and an invoice sent out. See our current Fees and Charges

The statutory timeframe for processing Amendments is 20 working days. CODC will endeavour to process applications quicker to avoid any delays on site.
