Westland District Council customers will be able to apply for a consent through Objective Build, a new service designed to create consistency, transparency, and quality in building applications, from 8 May 2023.
This new system has been built after interviews with over a hundred builders, architects, designers, and industry professionals across New Zealand to ensure it meets their needs. It improves the ability to reuse information across applications, clearly see the status of an application, action required updates, and manage a consent throughout the lifecycle.
The online platform is the first release of Objective Build, which aims to create a complete consenting system for New Zealand. The platform will connect to seamlessly to backend council systems, allowing New Zealand to work across a single platform. Building and Construction industry professionals will have one account to handle all applications, instead of the multiple accounts they currently have.
The support team can be reached on build.support@objective.com or 0800 024 508 and they are available Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm.
