That's not exactly how the process works.. TLA's rarely prosecute for not getting a resource consent instead they use the power to issue an abatement notice and if that fails they may press for an enforcement order from the Environment Court .. Ch have a good bit on it here: http://www.ccc.govt.nz/homeliving/bu...toftherma.aspx
Disregard abatement and enforcement orders at your peril! There are far more punitive measures than mere prosecution.

For those of you that have any doubts please note carefully..
Auckland City Council have no definition of a Granny Flat or minor dwelling. Any 'converted' basement becomes a second dwelling once it has a kitchen, even if it attached to a 'main' dwelling. You will need a resource consent to create this. If you do convert it and especially if you let it out you are taking a serious risk. Your tenant can blackmail you (now where have I seen that?) The Council will normally only act on a complaint but if one is made you will receive an abatement notice and it will continue from there.

How do you define "kitchen"? I'm thinking of installing a bar in my downstairs area/games room/great hall. It will have a sink and a fridge, a microwave and possibly a hot plate cooktop (portable/plug-in), but not a stove as such. There was always water piped to this area as it used to be a laundry, so therefore there was always an outlet too. Require any sort of consent?
