133BX: Works for long-term use or occupation of building
or “Rules for fixing buildings so people can safely live or work in them for a long time”
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.
