Infrastructure Cook Islands has a few regulatory functions. These are as road manager, and housing Building Control and the Electrical Inspectorate.
These functions are legislated for under the Infrastructure Act (road manager), the Building Control and Standards Act 1991 (for Building Control) and the Energy Act 1998 (for the Electrical Inspectorate).
Our approvals or permit applications fall under:
- Land Map Approvals – where we look at the access to a land section
- Building Permits – you need a permit before you build
- Designation of Supervisor – if you want to nominate someone else to supervise your build
- Certificate of Suitability – required if you want to change of use of your building
- Use of Public Space – for if your development will need to use public space like space within the road corridor
- Demolition Permits – for when you want to demolish an existing building
- Electrical Permits – your electrician will apply for a permit to wire your home
- Road Excavation Permits – for when you need to cut the roadseal
- Requests for Permission – for when someone wants to do work that will affect infrastructure. In ICI’s case, it is the road.
