The assessment, which happens every two years, found the department was “achieving excellent outcomes”.
No serious non-compliances were found, but the assessment did identify 12 “general” issues, seven less than the 19 identified in 2019.
Nine have already been resolved.
Council staff said an IANZ assessor told them at the end of the assessment that the team was “extremely good and very hard to fault”.

As of July 16, the council has had 266 building consent applications in July alone.
The findings from IANZ were very minor and “little things around procedure”, the staff said in a report.
For the month of March, when the IANZ assessors were monitoring the team, 93.9 per cent of building consents were dealt with inside the 20-day timeframe.
