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.
