Manawatū District Council make the move to Objective Build

Working together to create a unified consent process across New Zealand

Objective is pleased to announce that Manawatū District Council (MDC) have chosen to upgrade to Objective Build, to create consistency across New Zealand for applying and managing building consents. This exciting partnership reflects our continued commitment to delivering impactful software and services to our local government partners, and fostering meaningful collaborations across the construction industry.

Manawatū District Council supports a region that blends rural heritage with strategic advantage. Centrally located in the lower North Island, the district is a vital link between four surrounding regions and is fast becoming a hub for logistics, agribusiness, and innovation. With strong connections to ports, airports, and research centres, it offers both lifestyle and economic opportunity. The Council plays an essential role in this growth, delivering everyday services, enabling local development, and processing building consents to help the region thrive.

When asked about the partnership with Objective, Jason Rosenbrock, Regulatory Services Manager at Manawatū District Council, commented "We're excited to partner with Objective to deliver a more seamless, consistent, and transparent experience for applicants across the Manawatū District and the wider region."

Objective is proud to be working closely with Manawatū District Council to ensure a smooth onboarding experience and to establish the foundation for a strong, long-term partnership. This collaboration reflects Objective’s broader commitment to supporting councils across New Zealand that are setting new benchmarks, both nationally and globally.

Together with our customers, our team strives to deliver outstanding outcomes for councils and their communities, raise the standard for digital consenting, and continue innovating to ensure every organisation gains maximum value from our platform.

Stay tuned for updates as the Objective team continue to embark on this exciting new chapter with Manawatū District Council, and Councils/BCAs across New Zealand.
