How to assess and manage earthquake-prone buildings is under the spotlight. #constructionlaw #propertylaw #earthquakebuildingmanagement

Building owners to be given more time to remediate earthquake-prone buildings https://lnkd.in/gRgGsqHm The New Zealand Government has introduced a bill that gives owners of “earthquake-prone” buildings a longer timeframe to remediate their buildings than those previously set – broadly, a further four years, plus a potential two more on top of that. The bill is part of the New Zealand Government’s broader work programme to review the country’s system for managing seismic risk in existing buildings, and aims to provide certainty to building owners and territorial authorities while the review takes place. This is occurring at a time when many building owners are coming up against current deadlines for remediation.

The seismic performance of buildings is important for protecting lives; but it’s also important for reducing losses, continuing business operations, and protecting an organisation’s reputation and interests. Check out this new resource from Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to help commercial building tenants understand their tolerance of seismic risk. 👇 https://lnkd.in/g6AECBMP #propertycouncilnz

Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk today announced the scope of a comprehensive review of New Zealand’s earthquake-prone building regime. We consider some of the review topics in our article below. The review is due to be completed quickly, with the report to Cabinet due in Q2 2025. It will likely be followed by a period of public consultation and legislative reform – both of which will likely contribute to short-term uncertainty. https://lnkd.in/gEJa7MSt

Here is my latest column! in continuation of our due diligence series,In this article I discuss the measurement units in land transactions. Having basic knowledge of measurement units will greatly safeguard your interests as you transact. I also recommend the use of professional land surveyors in land transactions as they are competent and conversant as regards the measurement units. Enjoy the read! #landrights #duediligence

Thanks to Mayor Coyne for recognizing Logging Contractors are part of the solution.

Not letting this opportunity slip by – the Landslide Planning Guidance is a document that provides a blueprint for planners to reduce landslide risk through land use planning.  🗺 “We didn’t see many maps and we saw that other hazards like earthquakes and floods had higher priority in councils and yet possibly didn’t cause as much damage or death,” says GNS Risk Reduction Scientist Phil Glassey.  💡 The Guidance provides the framework to take #landslide information and interpret it in a way that land use planners can apply to multiple uses including making decisions around resource consents.  Watch the full video to find out more about why the Guidance is needed, how it was developed and how it helps planners consider the risks of landslides early in the #planning process 👇 https://lnkd.in/gMMP_F8g 🗣 Saskia de Vilder  Scott Kelly Phil Glassey

“Bridging the East and West: A Strategic Analysis of the A66 Corridor Dualling Proposal” The A66 road is a major east-west route in northern England, spanning approximately 80 kilometres. It connects the M6 motorway at Penrith in Cumbria to the A1(M) at Scotch Corner in North Yorkshire. The road is crucial for both local and long-distance traffic, facilitating movement between the east and west coasts of northern England. In this project, I conduct a comprehensive analysis of this corridor. #A66 corridor #the A66 Corridor Dualling Analysis #Least cost path analysis #Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) #Suitability analysis #Land acquisition analysis #Environment impact analysis
