Engineering Code of Practice
This Engineering Code of Practice is a comprehensive document which provides guidelines on the engineering standards Council will use when setting conditions for Resource Consents for Subdivision and Land Use projects.
The Code does not aim to provide “cookbook” solutions. The standards in the Code provide acceptable solutions, but not necessarily the only solutions, for the engineering issues associated with subdivision and land use projects.
