Wellington City Council Welcomes Minister Penk's Announcement On Quake-Strengthening
Wellington City Council welcomes Minister Penk’s announcement to review the criteria for which buildings and other structures are required to undergo earthquake strengthening.
We will now work through these changes and what they mean for the Council as the regulator.
We will also consider what this means for earthquake-prone structures owned by the Council and will bring this information to elected members in the new triennium.
In the meantime, it is important that owners of earthquake-prone buildings (EPBs) leave their notices in place until any changes have been confirmed by legislation.
