Council is currently consulting on its earthquake-prone buildings policy and providing information on the new Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) Amendment Act due to come into force over the next couple of years.

Council is required to have a policy on earthquake-prone buildings and review it every five years. Council has reviewed the Policy and have not proposed any changes. Written submissions on the Earthquake–prone Building Policy close 4 pm Monday 29 August 2016. Hearings of oral submissions are scheduled for Thursday 29 September 2016 at the Council Chambers in Marton.
