Complaints

As a registered and accredited Building Consent Authority (BCA), our Council is required to have a BCA Complaints Policy.

Feedback in the form of complaints provides opportunities for learning and improving services. We want to hear from you if you feel dissatisfied with any part of our service related to Building Consent processing or Inspection and issuing Code Compliance Certificates.

Determinations

If you disagree with Council's decision under the Building Act or the Building Code, another option for handling this dispute it to apply for a Determination. More information on Determinations can be found on Build Waikato.

A Determination is a legally binding decision made by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE). To help determine if this is the best option for your specific issue, please consult the MBIE Website.
