Ashhurst residents can go back to using your water as usual. A big thank you for your patience and efforts to conserve water while we repaired the burst water main. You might notice some discoloured water tomorrow. If you do, please run your cold tap for up to 20 minutes. If it still doesn't run clear, give us a call.
Here are the fees we charge for Environmental Health Services, including inspections, permits and licences.
All fees and charges include GST. Effective 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027.
Environmental health charges are imposed under Regulation 7 of the Health (Registration of Premises) Regulations 1966 to recover the cost to Palmerston North City Council of providing environmental health services.
These charges cover the standard cost to Council in carrying out the work listed. However, additional charges may apply depending on the circumstances, such as additional inspections, change of ownership or interpretation services that may be incurred by the Council during or after processing the application, or carrying out related inspections.
These fees may be applicable to an application or inspection, or may be applied as a single charge.
The environmental protection manager is authorised to remit, reduce or refund any of these fees or part of a fee in any particular case where there are special grounds for doing so.
