Dear Auckland Council,

Clause 3.7 of the AC2301 Producer Statement Policy states the following:

"If an applicant provides a producer statement and the author is not on the Auckland Council
Producer Statement Register, the applicant can choose to have the design reviewed by another person who is on the register; alternatively, Council will arrange to have the design reviewed. The cost of any review is borne by the building consent applicant."

Under what Clause of the Building Act is Auckland City Council permitted to require a design reviewed by a person on the register, or arrange to have the design reviewed?

Under what Clause of the Building Act is Auckland City Council permitted to pass on the costs of such a review to the building consent applicant?

Yours faithfully,

Simon Johnson
