Project information memorandum (PIM)

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 Fire and Emergency New Zealand
  • 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).

While not mandatory, PIMs can reduce delays in obtaining approvals and highlight potential issues in large projects.
