Good afternoon David,

 

Thank you for your email to the Council received on 1 September 2021 in
which you requested the hourly charge out rate for professionals the
Council either employ or contracts to approve building consents.

 

The Council’s website contains an overview of charges relating to the
building consent process and can be accessed via the following link:
[1]https://wellington.govt.nz/property-rate...

 

If I have understood your question correctly then I can advise the
processing of building consent applications are charged depending on the
project value and complexity rather than an hourly rate of the staff
involved.

 

However; where additional inspections or professional engineering input is
required, specific charges may be applied. Such charges are outlined on
the Council’s website.

 

Should you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

 

Kind regards,

Ian
