Consultation has concluded.
To make our communities safer, legislation requires councils across New Zealand to have a Dangerous and Insanitary Building Policy.
We're proposing a new Dangerous and Insanitary Buildings Policy which will modernise the current policy, make it fit for purpose for the next five years and easy to understand by Council officers and the community. Since the current policy was adopted in 2007, there have been a number of government department changes that need to be reflected in the proposed policy.
QLDC's proposed Dangerous and Insanitary Buildings Policy 2021 outlines Council’s approach to:
Identifying dangerous, affected or insanitary buildings
What powers it can exercise when such buildings are identified
How it will work with building owners to prevent buildings from remaining dangerous or insanitary
The proposed policy also addresses the matter of costs associated with Council remediating dangerous and insanitary buildings where the owner fails to take action.
The proposed policy includes:
A detailed Procedures section which will allow staff not familiar with the policy to be able to take action and implement the policy. This includes a section on buildings that pose an Immediate Danger and references Council’s ability to demolish buildings that do pose an immediate danger
At any Council office in the district: 10 Gorge Road, Queenstown, 47 Shotover Street, Queenstown or 47 Ardmore Street, Wānaka
Any library within the Queenstown Lakes District
