Public consultation on our Dangerous, Affected and Insanitary Buildings Policy is open 28 March to Tuesday 30 April 2024.
The Building Act 2004 requires every territorial authority to have a policy to manage dangerous, affected and insanitary buildings.
The policy makes sure Council has a mechanism to identify dangerous, affected and insanitary buildings and clearly state the actions required to mitigate the risk they pose to public health and safety.
We're required to review our policy at least every five years and consult on any changes. We've proposed a minor change to our policy which we need to gather feedback on.
Proposed changes:
Council is proposing that the following be added to the definition section of the policy:
Section 123B describes buildings in areas designated under subpart 6B’. The addition of this further clause is required by legislation as it was introduced in the Building Amendment Act 2019, which was later incorporated into the Building Act 2004, effective 17 December 2019.
Other minor grammatical changes have been made which are identified in the draft Policy.
