Due to lack of staff resources Auckland Council housing consent have been stalling development. They are working to resolve this.
Though population growth has slowed and we are now at a rate to keep up with it currently, but we’re not yet building enough to address the under-supply.
Once Council resolves their resource issue, developers and builders will be soon be looking to clear sections, remove rubbish, build fences, pressure washing, building, paths, fences, spruce up the garden or plant new ones for prospective buyers or renters.
So, if you need these services, give is a call at 0800 514 514.
