The Dangerous, Affected and Insanitary Buildings Policy was recommended to Council at the 10 April 2025 meeting of the Consultation Panel. See the Agenda here. The recording of the meeting can be seen here.

The 1 May 2025 Council meeting adopted the policy, which will commence on 12 May 2025. See the agenda for the meeting here. The video of the meeting can be seen here.

The Building Act (2004) requires Councils to regularly review their Dangerous, Affected and Insanitary Buildings Policy.

Nelson's policy has recently been reviewed, and some changes are recommended to keep us in line with other Councils around New Zealand.

A statement of proposal can be seen on this page, along with the amended Policy.

In order for these changes to come into force, then Council must undertake a special consultative procedure (SCP) to receive feedback from the public and affected/interested parties.

Submissions have now closed.
