jul 12, 1991 - Building Act
Description:
The Building Act 1991 sets out the rules for the construction, alteration, demolition and maintenance of new and existing buildings in New Zealand. It was repealed and replaced by the Building Act 2004
Prior to the Building Act 1991 coming into force on 1 July 1992, there was no provision to approve building work retrospectively, meaning that any work without a consent would always remain without one. Instead, local authorities dealt with illegal building work with a safe and sanitary report.
