Amend or vary a consent

If you want to change your consented building work, before or during construction, and your council requires you to complete a formal amendment for major variations, you create a building consent amendment application. If approved, any amended application becomes part of the approved building consent documents file for that building project.

To apply for a minor variation, please contact your building consent authority

See Guidance to building consent amendments for a full guide to minor variations, major variations and the amendment process.

To amend a consent

You can apply for amendment only after a building consent is issued.

  1. Open the consent.

  2. Select Actions | Apply for amendment.

  3. Complete the application for amendment.
