Wellington Seismic Risk Update

June 23 @ 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm

NZ$65.00

Hear directly from policymakers, engineers and finance experts on navigating New Zealand’s seismic reform.

The Seismic Risk Management Review represents one of the most significant potential shifts in how New Zealand manages earthquake-prone buildings, risk thresholds and strengthening expectations. This session will provide a timely update on what the review signals for the future of seismic policy and how the industry should prepare. Discussion will focus on the practical implications of seismic reform across policy, design, engineering, and finance – exploring impacts on existing assets, investment decisions, and long-term asset planning.

This event will bring together property owners, investors, developers, asset managers, engineers and local government representatives to understand better the implications of the review for the property sector, particularly in Wellington.

 

We’re delighted to welcome keynote speaker Matthew McDermott, Manager, Building Performance and Resilience Policy at MBIE. He’ll join the panel discussion with Alex James (Beca) and Rachael Wise (Navigation Financial Partners), offering diverse perspectives on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
