Dangerous and Insanitary Buildings

Consultation has concluded.

Feedback on the draft Dangerous and Insanitary Buildings Policy has now closed. Feedback will now be collated and presented to Council for consideration.

Council is inviting community feedback on its proposed Dangerous and Insanitary Buildings Policy. The proposed policy is an update to an existing policy that was due for review. It outlines Council’s approach to:

• Identifying dangerous, insanitary and affected buildings
• The consideration of heritage buildings if affected by this policy
• Working with other agencies; and
• The enforcement approach to remedy any dangerous, insanitary or affected buildings.

The proposed policy incudes the consideration of ‘affected’ buildings, which are buildings adjacent to, adjoining or near a dangerous building, which is not considered in the existing policy. It also details the policy objectives and how it aligns with our desired community outcomes.

You can read the draft policy in the documents section and complete the short survey below. Or if you’re not online then you can get a copy of the consultation document and a submission form from any Council service centre.

Feedback closes 5pm Friday 21 January 2022.
