Project Information Memorandum [PIM]

The PIM provides an applicant with information relevant to the proposed building work, other than the normal requirements under the Building Act 2004. This information enables the applicant to assess the feasibility of his/her project before proceeding with a Building Consent application. It is to assist you in providing the information required to obtain a Building Consent.

Please Note: No building work is to be commenced until your building consent has been issued.

What You Need To Provide

  • A completed PIM application form. Click here to obtain one.
  • Site plan scale is 1:200, with a north point shown.
  • Site (legal) boundaries are to be clearly defined on the plan with dimensions.
  • The drawing shall be a plan view accurately locating and dimensioning the new building works relative to the boundaries.
  • Bulk and location drawing
  • Show building outline and the layout of the rooms.
  • Show the elevations of the main exterior walls with heights above ground level.
  • Show setback distances from the boundaries and other buildings.
  • Show floor areas (in m2) of all existing and proposed buildings. Separate areas are to be given for detached buildings and any top floors.
  • Show the area of the site on the plan.

The PIM may identify that you will need to obtain other authorisations, e.g:

  • If your proposed building does not comply with the District Plan then a Resource Consent will have to be obtained.
  • If you intend to building in a flood prone area, you will require a report from the Otago Regional Council
