Building Act 2004

Building - Special provisions for buildings affected by emergency - Management of buildings in designated areas

133BY: Resource consent not required for certain works

You could also call this:

“Some building work doesn't need special permission from the council”

You don’t need to get a resource consent under the Resource Management Act 1991 for certain types of work. These are the works that are done under section 133BS, 133BV, or 133BW. This means you can do these specific works without having to ask for special permission first.
