Dangerous, Insanitary and Affected Buildings Policy

The Building (Earthquake-Prone Buildings) Amendment Act 2016 meant that local authorities no longer have individual policies in relation to how potentially earthquake-prone buildings are managed. This process is now governed by Subpart 6A of the Building Act 2004.
