Cutting through the red tape

In part two of NZ Property Investor magazine’s four-part guide to property development, our journalist looks at how to navigate the red tape involved in a development project.

Stories of nightmare consent application processes are numerous – and they are enough to strike doubt, if not fear, into the hearts of aspiring developers.

Many development industry figures are outspoken about the impact of bureaucratic delays and excessive fees on housing projects.

Both central and local government are working to improve the processes surrounding housing development.

But, in the current system, the path to gaining a consent can be full of stumbling blocks.

This month’s NZ Property Investor magazine explores the best ways to tackle the consent process, along with the legal and tax requirements involved.
