Building

Our Consents team are here to help you with all of your planning and building needs.

Horowhenua District Council's Building Consent Authority has been accredited by IANZ and is registered with the Ministry of Business, Employment and Innovation (MBIE) to ensure that certain minimum standards of health and safety are met in all building construction works.  Everyone needs to be able to assume that the buildings in which they live, work, shop, play and visit for any reason are not dangerous or unsanitary.

For information about land use and subdivision applications, please see our Planning section.
