The New Earthquake-prone Buildings Regime
The Building (Earthquake-Prone Buildings) Amendment Act 2016 came into force on 1 July 2017. This Act makes changes to the Building Act 2004 and represents a new way for Territorial Authorities to deal with the identification and management of earthquake-prone buildings (EPBs). It aims to create consistency in how and when all Territorial Authorities deal with and provide the public with information about such buildings.
