Engineering Plan Approval Process

In addition to resource consent and building consent, some development projects need engineering plan approvals when the development involves installing a new public infrastructure such as stormwater and wastewater drainage, roads, shared driveways and common accessways.

To design and supervise the work, you'll need a NZ Chartered Professional Engineer or Registered Engineering Associate with experience in land development and infrastructure.
