A Demolition Report and Consent (29A) is required for any proposed demolition in accordance with Section 29A of the Building Act. 

Step 1 - Determine if a Report and Consent 29A is required. This is required:

1. If more than half the volume of the building is to be demolished, including demolition works carried out within the previous 3 years.
2. If any part of the façade of the building is to be demolished.
3. If a building faces 2 streets the demolition of either façade will require a report & consent.
4. If a planning permit is required a report and consent is still also required.

Step 2 - Prepare documentation to be submitted

• Obtain a current copy of title, issued within the last 3 months from Landata. Further information to assist in this process is available at Request a Copy of Title.
  • If the title lists any covenants or S173 Agreements obtain a copy.
• Copy of demolition plan – the demolition plan must contain a legend and clearly show the footprint of the structure/s to be demolished. Do NOT include vegetation.
  • If your plans show vegetation, please include the wording “Tree removal is not included as part of this 29A application”

Step 3 - Once you are ready to submit your application lodge and apply online.
