Property information at your fingertips
Property information at your fingertips
Searching for property information at
Hutt City Council has just got easier – and cheaper.
Decades of property records previously held on microfiche
can now be viewed on computers located at council’s main
reception on Laings Road. This includes building consent
information such as site and floor plans, code compliance
certificates, and historical building permits. Transferring
the files has taken council staff several months, but
environmental consents manager Helen Oram says the work has
been worth it. “Customers no longer have to trawl through
records on a microfiche reader, but can instead go on the
computers and get the information they need in seconds.
“Moving away from microfiche which use to cost customers
$20 to view has also enabled council to offer the new
computer service free of charge, excluding printing costs.
“We are pleased to be able to provide this service to our
customers and believe they will find it more
user-friendly,” says Ms
Oram.
