Building Act 2004

Regulatory responsibilities and accreditation - Responsibilities of chief executive - Power of chief executive to register persons as building consent authorities for purposes of this Act

193: Effect of registration

You could also call this:

“Registered people can do building consent work, but some can only do what they're allowed to do.”

If your name is on the register of building consent authorities, you can do the jobs of a building consent authority under this Part and Part 2 of the law.

If your name is on the register but you’re not a territorial authority or a regional authority, you can only do the jobs that match what you’re allowed to do. This is called your scope of accreditation.
