A new system to make applying for a building consent
with Hamilton City Council more convenient and cost
effective is launching on Wednesday 12 December.
In the
new online system, customers will be able to submit a
building consent application, upload further information and
track the progress of their consent.
The Council’s
Building Unit Manager Cory Lang says the project is focused
on the customer experience.
“We’ve been testing the
system with a cross section of our customers over the last
few months. The response so far has been overwhelmingly
positive,” says Mr Lang.
“The online system means
applications can be submitted from anywhere at any time and
our customers can have wider visibility of what’s
happening with their application. This means our customers
will be more informed and assist them to forward plan their
projects!”
“We will still accept paper applications,
although we encourage anyone looking to make an application
to give the new system a go.”
The Council also offers a
free service where people looking to build can come and get
professional advice, about the consent application
process.

Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn. Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
