COUNCIL BUILDING INSPECTIONS
Council officers have completed assessment of the 59 earthquake-prone buildings registered in the city, and one of these buildings requires further inspection by an engineer.
Council officers are now investigating any other buildings that they’ve been notified about.
Concerned a building has structural damage?
If you’re the tenant of a building that you suspect has suffered structural damage please notify the owner in the first instance and then inform Council of the address.
If a building does have structural damage the owner will need to get an engineer’s report, we can advise them on the steps they need to take. We really want to encourage tenants and owners to let us know of any concerns. Contact Council on 04 570 6666 or report it online huttcity.govt.nz/rap
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
