About Taupo District Council
Overview
Building over pipelines is not a recommended practice and will only be considered by council in exceptional circumstances, where no suitable alternative exists.
Approval from council is required before undertaking any physical works activity over or within the zone of influence of the public water, wastewater or stormwater pipes and associated assets which may cause damage to or restrict access to those assets. This includes permanent structures and includes constructing retaining walls, cantilevered structures, removing existing cover material or placing additional fill material.
The zone of influence is defined as any building or structure, retaining wall or earthworks within a minimum of 1.5 metres of a main or asset and/or the same distance from the pipe as half the depth of the pipe.
In many cases formal easements over services do not exist, however council has rights and powers over all council services via the Local Government Act and associated Bylaws. The following guidelines align with easement facility requirements associated with new developments. These include the minimum easement width being 3.0 metres, or greater with pipes deeper than 3.0 metres. No soakholes, buildings, internal fences or other structures or access impediments within the area of the easement. Boundary fences and driveways are normally permitted within the easements.
The sections and guidelines below are used when considering whether building over water services can be permitted.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Never experienced such bad service, Purchased a property where a deck has been extended without consent, decided to do the write thing and find out what was required, a COA I was told, $1455 of fees spend so far, then to be told also need resource consent why, because even though the council records say the property is only 120sq it turns out these records are wrong and its 160sq, at least another $1000 wanted and written permission from neighbors, permission supplied but no, now need a form to be filled out by the neighbors, building inspection done today which failed even though a previous council employee looked at the deck and mentioning nothing about more piles required, even though saying it was a good job, and yes now also need building consent, More application fees. All for a small deck extension. Its not so Much the money but the continuing changing of the goal posts and each department has a different story. Taking it further

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Having moved to Taupo in the recent months and starting my own business - Taupo district council and the team working there have been very helpful, understanding and thorough with opening up the right doors to the right people to get me where I am today! They have given me the correct guidance and if there was anything that I did not quite understand they were happy enough to explain and show me the right way. Thank you Taupo District Council

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fast response by staff. However, their decision from 15 December 2021 to go further than current government guidelines and ban all over 12s who haven't got a vaccine passport from all public services such as the library and swimming pools until further notice is shocking. Should have been zero out of 5.
