- It separates resource consent from building consent and warns that completing a checklist item does not grant permission to build.
Field notes
The stages move from confirming ownership, authority, and occupation arrangements to checking council rules and investigating the proposed house site. Later checks include surveys, ground-bearing tests, and geotechnical work where needed. Each item names a potential lead or specialist, and the page distinguishes between resource consent and building consent; guest progress is temporary unless saved through a login.
