Aucklanders have been assured the formation of the supercity will not further delay compensation for leaky homes.

The Building and Construction Minister has given the promise to rural and provincial local government representatives at their conference in Auckland.

Maurice Williamson said despite the current definition of leaky homes varying across the seven councils, homeowners will not face lengthy delays getting pay-outs for leaky homes.

He would not be drawn on the details, but said he wants easy access, timely decision making and cost effectiveness in the building sector.
