On 13 November 2024, Property Council submitted on the Building (Overseas Building Products, Standards, and Certification Schemes) Amendment Bill.
Why this matters to our members
Property Council advocates for the creation and retention of a well-designed, functional and sustainable built environment. Allowing for more overseas standards and standards certification schemes to be accepted in New Zealand will increase certainty and competition, reduce wait times, and unlock innovation.
Our view
Property Council supported the Bill and had no recommended amendments. We also support the Government’s other reform work in the building system space and will continue to engage with MBIE on these matters.
