Managing earthquake-prone buildings
Rebuilding Canterbury is one of our key priorities, and Volumes 4-7 of the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission report have been released.
We’ve accepted all the findings and the 70 recommendations in the first part of the report (Volumes 1-3). Some of these recommendations have already been implemented, while others are being worked on.
The Government will carefully consider the 119 recommendations made in Volume 4 and Volumes 5-7, many of which require policy and legislative changes.
We want to ensure our earthquake-prone buildings policy system is balanced between protecting people from harm, and managing the economic implications of earthquake-prone buildings. Have your say: www.dbh.govt.nz/consultingon-epbp
The Government expects to issue a comprehensive response to the Royal Commission’s full report by early to mid-next year.
