Need a bigger tank?
If you require a larger tank, talk to one of your local farming specialists.
When choosing the size to purchase, we recommend a 25/30,000 litre tank for larger properties or a 4/5,000 litre tank for smaller properties.
Resource consent would not be required if the water tank was setback in accordance with the District Plan requirements. These setback requirements vary between zones. If you are unsure please email planning@swdc.govt.nz or call with the site address and proposed location. Servicing requirements may be relevant to the building.
