Building Plans

A sample of building plans lodged with the Council by property owners when applying for building consents. These plans cover the period from about 1919 to 1999, but most date from 1925 to 1950 and since 1989. All of these plans have been microfilmed (since 1994) and the 35mm aperture cards are held by the Regulatory Services Unit. This series is filed in an alphabetical/numerical system, which was introduced in 1994. 

Pre-1989 plans were originally held by the Building Inspector's Office of the City Engineer's Department and were part of the records now held in PNCC Series 4/13/6. However, this group of plans were not included in the pre-1994 microfilm programme, were not assigned the numerical classification code which exists in that Series, and so are held separately. The criteria for selecting this sample however is the same as PNCC 4/13/6 (see that Series record).

Also see Series 4/13/6 (Plan Cabinets).

Creator(s): City Engineer’s Department (pre-1989); Development Services Unit (1989-1993); Regulatory Services Unit (Since 1993).

HELD IN PLAN CABINETS.
