In general most coucils are as per MBIE building code exemptions, you can go 20m2 and up to 1m? high without resource consent/permit etc..... The issue being once you go large you have to have the work done by or supervised by a builder etc adding to cost.....

wondering how tricky you can get with cheating the system.... BTW anything that is improving disabled access is exempt fromneeding council permit, so a big kick ass ramp (motorcycle emtrance to house) is not blowing out yourm2 like integral steps m,ight....

From memory you need an 'approved builder' to build a disabled access ramp.
i have a similar idea which would get rid of my current over height problem. I have no idea whobuilt the current deck.
or do you need a disabled builder to build an approved ramp

Make multiple decks of 20m?
Wait until the local cuntcil do their annual comparison with google earth (too pricey to hire aircraft and photo the area like they used to) then join the decks together!
Yup, that's what the ITM guy suggested to me and I did. No springy-ness whatsoever.
I also laughed at the engineer who noted on his bracing calculations that "some movement will be noticeable". Hah! Not the way I built it. That mother is solid - even 3m up and on poles!

thats the way!If the deck isnt that wide then an extra joist or three doesnt make much difference ,because the 25 mm decking is cheaper.
Nothing worse in my opinion than any kind of discernible movement in a deck or a upper floor.Big decks sometimes have a vibration/lateral movement that i hate.The deck it self is solid ie no flexing of the actual decking but whatever is moving i dont like it!

Agree with you. Often they arent that practical a space - your sounds great. I am currently mulling over something similar. Our most used deck (we have two) is tiny (around 3 x 3 m) but it doubles as my outdoor kitchen - I fucking hate open plan kitchen living and hate stinking up the house particulary if I am cooking fish or meat or whatever.. I was going to put up a roof over it but at this point I am leaning towards a shade sail. basically to keep the rain off while I am cooking...
a lot of our Chinese clients designing houses have two kitchens too - one indoor and one outdoor for precisely that reason.

Very pertinent for those of the cooking persuasion. I use the BBQ most weekends, charcoal and Ti tree. Goes on at 10am and my beef cheeks are ready by 6pm..Can't do that inside..

...I can't even begin to count the number of decks , verandahs I have built, but being the resident chippy in a very steep, sloped, town for more years than I like to remember and then shifting to another steep, valleyed area where I built more of the bloody things, I can say that of all the BIG decks I have built I reckon most of them only use 10 to 20% of the space, the rest is just a wasted, preconceived idea of a lifestyle of the rich and famous...some of my decks have been twenty to thirty feet high on the downside of the slope...I wouldn't touch the thin 'heinous, penis radiata' decking, even if the joists were a foot apart...there is not enough guts in the board size to handle wet, hot, cold, moist seasons like we have here...I dont even like the 35 mm stuff but will always go with the clients, wishes...I always let my feelings be felt...80% of the decks I have done have been 40mm Macro-Carpa...a little more work involved, but a better result than the 'heinous penis', route...
