Simpli - Building Consistency Through Collaboration
Rangitīkei District Council is one of more than 20 councils around the country that are working together to bring consistency to the building consent process.
The vision of the initiative, called Simpli, is to deliver a consistent and timely consenting experience with the aim of providing a simpler process for building consent applications.
