Building Control Section The Building Control Section has to control the standard of building construction under the provisions of the Building Act 2004 and regulations within the Masterton District Council. This involves the processing of building consent applications and subsequent inspection of buildings during stages of construction to check compliance. All building consent applications and check sheets must be filled out in full and accompanied by the applicable building consent fee. You can download Building Consent application forms here.
