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.
