Hoarding and barricades protect the public during construction and keep the construction site secure.
If you need hoarding for a building permit, you’ll need a Report and Consent before we issue the building permit.
Examples of hoarding include:
- temporary fencing
- scaffolding
- overhead structures that cars can drive through.
You must have a permit to put up hoarding or protective barriers on Council land.
