Leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale

Waitomo District Council contractor McIndoe Group are planning to carry out water leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale starting this Friday, 19 September 2025.

Leak detection helps identify where there could be faults in the network and can also help determine where water loss is occurring.

The leak detection investigation will occur from 8am to 5pm and although there will be a temporary interruption to water supply, it should not overly disrupt or interfere with normal usage.

We also ask that you please conserve water as much as possible.

New building consent system is live

12 Feb 2020, 11:54 AM

Waitomo District Council's new building consent system, Alpha, is now live. 

Alpha, which went live on Wednesday 12 February 2020 will allow you to submit and track your building projects, including consents, certificates of acceptance, exemptions and code compliance certificates. 

It will be used for all building consent applications in the Waitomo District. 

If you have a paper based application to submit from 12th February, and are unsure how to submit electronically, the building compliance team will be able to provide guidance and assistance over the phone or at our office.

Those with an existing building consent underway will continue to have their consent processed using the current paper-based system until it is complete.

For more information please phone the building compliance team on 0800 932 4357.
