If you have received a Building Notice or a written direction to Fix Building Work in relation to a building or building work, you may need to seek retrospective comments from Council for matters which are usually captured under the Council report and consent provisions.

This process is referred to as applying for Council Consideration (Comments).

You can make an application for Council Consideration (Comments) in relation to any of the following regulations, where report and consent would usually be required:

• For construction over or excavation into a drainage easement - Regulation 130
• Siting matters - Part 5 Regulations 73 – 97
• Building on land liable to flooding - Regulation 153
