The Department of Building and Housing is reviewing the Building Act in response to concerns from the public and the building and construction sector about:
Implementation of the Building Act at council level
The costs and complexity of the building consent process
Delays and costs caused by councils being too risk-averse in the building consent process.
The aim of the review will be to reduce the costs associated with the building control system in New Zealand, without compromising quality. The review seeks the following results:
Quality homes and buildings produced through an efficient regulatory framework
Informed decisions by consumers and confidence in the building and housing market
A productive sector where homes and buildings are built using the right skills and knowledge
An efficient and cost-effective regulatory system.
Over 370 submissions have been received by the Department of Building and Housing.
