Building and renovating

Get it right before you build

If you're building a new home or renovating an existing one, you may need our approval if your work changes a water or wastewater connection​, is over or near our pipes​, involves excavation near our assets or​ is subject to a council or consent-authority requirement. You'll need to engage one of our preapproved providers to do this for you.
