Project Information Memorandum (PIM)
Note that PIMs can only contain information known to the council at the time of the report.
A Project Information Memorandum (PIM) is a detailed report relating to a specific project on a property. It discloses information that may affect approval for a proposed building project, such as:
- need for an evacuation plan approved by the New Zealand Fire Service
- potential erosion, slippage or flooding
- the presence of any hazardous contaminants known to the Council
- details on stormwater and sewerage systems
- any development contributions payable
- other relevant authorisation requirements (resource consents and bylaw approvals)
Obtaining a PIM is not mandatory and you can if you wish decide not to get one. Many people, however, consider it's a good idea to request a PIM in the planning stages of your project so you can anticipate any potential problem.
