it is prepared from records held by the
Council only, and provides:
-
Information on special land features including erosion, avulsion
(removal of land by water action), falling debris, subsidence,
slippage, alluvion (the deposition of silt from flooding) and the
presence of hazardous contaminants which are likely to be relevant to
the design, construction or alteration of your proposed building which
are known to the Council.
-
Information notified to the Council by any statutory organisation,
such as the New Zealand Historic Places Trust or the Department of
Conservation.
-
Details of stormwater or wastewater utility systems which relate to
your proposed building work, or which are adjacent to your building
site.
-
Details of any authorisations under other Acts which the Council
requires, and details of the requirements to be met in the granting of
these authorisations and the conditions they will be subject to.
The most common authorisations will be resource consents required
under the Resource Management Act 1991.

memorandum will also include either:
-
Confirmation,
subject to other provisions of the Act, that you may carry out the
building work subject to the requirements of the building consent and

Notes
Why should I get a PIM?
A PIM
is required for all building work and is useful in establishing the
feasibility and design practicality new houses, large alterations or new
commercial or industrial buildings.
Note:
A
Building
Consent
cannot be granted by the Council unless a PIM has been
issued.
How much does it cost?
A PIM costs are based on actual time to complete. For information on the
applicable fees, please see the Papakura District Council Schedule of
Fees and Charges available at the Council offices or online
here.
How do I get a PIM?
The
PIM Application Form is available
here.
When you have
completed the application form, please forward it to the Council offices
at 35 Coles Crescent, Papakura. Please include a cheque with the
application.
Important Notes:
You
can apply for a PIM with your Building Consent application.
A
copy of the Application Form is available
here.
A PIM
does not give approval under the Council’s District Plan. You will need
to determine whether your proposal complies with the District Plan
first. You can do this by contacting a Resource Consent Planner at the
Council, or your own planning advisor.
If
your proposal does not comply with the District Plan and you need a
Resource
Consent. you are advised to obtain a Resource Consent first.
This will avoid possible expensive changes to your proposal.
When will I receive my PIM?
If
you have supplied the Council with all the necessary information, then
the PIM will be completed within 10 working days and forwarded to you as
soon as possible.
