The Far North District Council Engineering Standards sets out the processes and standards that are expected to be followed and met whenever any development project or engineering work is undertaken within the district.
The Engineering Standards Version 0.6 (May 2023), a 467-page document that goes into significant detail, is now available on our website. The standards are critical in ensuring the design, build, testing, and sign off any construction or infrastructure is fit for purpose and will have longevity.
Engineers, designers, infrastructure experts, contractors and other interested parties were encouraged to review our Working Draft Engineering Standards via an online survey, which closed at the end of March last year.
The council would like to thank all those who provided feedback during the consultation period. For future feedback and suggestions, you can email engineeringstandards@fndc.govt.nz.
