New building consent software coming soon

27 April 2026

Our GoGet building consent software is in the last few weeks of operation. We are moving to an improved building consent software, Consent-IT on 2 June 2026.


Do you have a building consent application already in the system?

𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱: If you have an existing building consent application your Requests for Information (RFI’s) and Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) RFI’s need to be completed before 29 May.  Our building team staff will be in touch with you to help you get your application over the finish line. If you intend to start a new building consent application in the very immediate future you have two options, as follows:

Not recommended: Apply before 29 May. These applications will be processed on the existing GoGet software; you’ll have a very limited amount of time in which to complete your application.

Recommended: Consider holding off from applying until 2 June. These applications will be processed on the new Consent-IT software. You’ll have the maximum amount of time available in which to complete your application.


What customers need to do: 

Customers should log onto their existing application on the Simpli portal and complete their outstanding RFI before 29 May 2026, this includes Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) RFI’s if their consent is currently in the CCC review stage.

What happens if customers do not complete their existing RFI before 29 May 2026?

Our building team will get in touch with applicants that are getting close to the due date and help them get their applications across the finish line in good time, however, in the event a customer does not complete their existing RFI’s on the current GoGet system by 29 May 2026 their application will not migrate to the new system, meaning:

  • their consent or CCC will be refused
  • they will be invoiced for any work completed on their consent to date
  • they will need to resubmit their application on our Consent-IT system from 2 June 2026
