How long does it take?
By law, the LIM must be completed within 10 working days.

We offer an "urgent" LIM service (completed within 3 days and 3 hours), but you must contact the LIM administrator before lodging the application to check that the shortened timeframe can be met. An additional fee is charged for an urgent LIM.

Site inspection
A site inspection does not form part of the legal requirement of a LIM. However, Wanganui District Council does offer a site inspection in conjunction with a LIM application. The site inspection is of the exterior only to check Council's building records against the site. A site inspection will pick up if any external building work has been done without the required consent/permit.

An additional inspection fee of $133 (GST incl) is charged for residential site inspections.

Commercial and rural site inspections are charged at cost, plus GST, and $65 deposit is required.
