Hastings District Council has published technical requirements for as-built documentation relating to its three waters infrastructure, which covers drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. The council requires complete and accurate as-built records to maintain an effective asset base and support optimised maintenance, renewal planning, and investment decisions across its water services network.
The as-built deliverables are divided into two key components: WASABI files containing asset management system attribution data such as diameter and material specifications, and CAD files providing GIS spatial data along with a PDF export for audit purposes. Development as-builts are submitted through the Resource Management Act consent process, while construction as-builts are delivered via construction contract processes. Assets intended for transfer to Hastings District Council must be tagged with VEST ownership status for verification by the council’s development engineers.
The council has made available downloadable templates and specifications to ensure consistency, including the WASABI spreadsheet template, a three waters as-built specification document, and a 2025 CAD base file. The council warns that submissions using grossly out-of-date versions of these templates may be rejected, emphasising the importance of using current standards for all three waters as-built documentation.
This technical guidance forms part of Hastings District Council’s broader water services management framework. By maintaining rigorous as-built standards, the council aims to build reliable infrastructure records that capture any changes, corrections, updates, or additions to water assets, including both new construction and existing infrastructure that has been abandoned or removed.
