Chris Penk: Minister for Building and Construction on the changes to the Building Act allowing products with reputable overseas certification
The Government is bulldozing barriers for bringing in new building products to New Zealand.
Minister for Building and Construction, Chris Penk, has unveiled changes to the Building Act in a bid to increase the availability of products and cool down costs.
That includes approving products with a reputable overseas certification and recognising product standards from trusted overseas jurisdictions.
Penk told Kerre Woodham that it’s one of those things that has been talked about for years, so they decided to actually get on and do something about it.
With Covid and recent natural disasters he said it’s clear we need to have as many different options as possible for the sake of resilience, as well as the costs and time frames involved.
