Building Consents
A building consent and PIM is required for all structures that meet the definition of a large ‘dam’, including flood control dams, significantly modified natural features, and canals, also including those structures that form part of the dam structure itself — such as appurtenant structures. Irrespective of whether a building consent is required for the dam or not, landowners should also ascertain whether resource consents are required from both of the relevant Regional and Territorial Authority.
Resource Consents
Resource consents may be required for dams when taking, using, damming and diverting of water and controlling of the quantity, level and flow of water is anticipated. The works associated with the dam construction itself may trigger the requirement for a resource consent.
