Consultation closed
Council is required by the Building Act 2004 to have a policy to manage dangerous and insanitary buildings in Tauranga. The policy is an important tool to help council protect the community against the risks unsafe buildings can pose, and needs to be reviewed every five years.
A large part of the policy is dictated by legislation. The Building Act sets out what the policy needs to contain, and the role of councils in identifying and remedying buildings that present a risk to their communities. Each council decides, through their policies, the approach they will use to do that.
Recommendations from the Ministry of Business and Innovation and Employment (MBIE) have been incorporated into a proposed draft amended Dangerous, Affected and Insanitary Buildings policy.
Council is required to consult with the community on any changes made to this policy, so we’re seeking your feedback on the proposed changes.
