Dangerous, Affected, and Insanitary Buildings Policy

Council gathered feedback from the community on the Draft Dangerous, Affected, and Insanitary Buildings Policy. 

The intent of the Dangerous, Affected and Insanitary Buildings Policy is to reduce the risk of injury, death, ill health or damage that may occur as a result of dangerous, affected, and/or insanitary buildings.

Council has reviewed the old policy and proposed changes to bring it up to date and to make clear how Council identifies, assesses, and manages these buildings.

The Statement of Proposal summarised the proposed key changes in the Draft Policy and the two options out for public consideration. These were to either adopt the new policy or to retain the old policy. 

Following public consultation, Council adopted the new policy guiding Council in keeping our community safe from dangerous, affected, and insanitary buildings.
