Make a Payment

How it works

  • Fees are payable for a building consent. These fees cover consent processing, inspections and issue of Code Compliance Certificate.
  • Once the application is granted, an invoice will be sent for the fees and levies where applicable.
  • Payment can be made by EFTPOS, credit card, bank transfer, or cash.
  • If paying by credit card, a merchant fee of 2% may be applied to the payment. This fee is charged by the credit card and merchant service providers. Council does not retain any part of this fee.
  • Occasionally, additional fees may arise if after we've issued the building consent, there are changes to the proposed building work that require an amendment to be lodged; or additional inspections required. (e.g. cancelled bookings and re-inspection on failed work)
