To ensure consistent quality housing, purchasers are required to obtain written approval from SEL for any dwelling prior to making an application for building consent to Selwyn District Council.

Documents required for Developers Approval:

Please refer to section information and building guidelines 

• Site Plan
• Floor Plan - Floor size (over framing) 
• Elevations - Exterior cladding must be shown and include colours
• Roof Plan
• Lot & DP number must be on the plans

email to admin@suburbanestates.co.nz

It is the vendors obligation to keep the original dwelling approval on file. Any request for a re issue of a dwelling approval will incur an administration cost.

Geotech Report

These sections are TC1 (with the exception of Lots 33, 85, 93, 94, 95, 96 & 105) and an individual site specific geotech report verifying the rating will be supplied to each purchaser as soon as the earthworks are completed.

Release 1 & 2 Geotech reports are available on request.  Release 2 tests will be carried out around the date of issue of title (approximately early 2022).

Overall Subdivision Geotech Report is available in the Key Documents tab.

Low Pressure Sewer System

As part of our Subdivision Consent, Selwyn District Council require a low-pressure sewer pump system for particular lots.  This is to be installed at the vendors cost, along with the remainder of the house sewer drain works. Suburban Estates provide you with separate information on our website relating to the sewer system with full details of installation requirements.
