“This change allows us to now consider the impact on other buildings near to dangerous or insanitary buildings, and to work to reduce any associated risks.
“Our updated policy would also allow us keep a register of the status of dangerous, affected, and/or insanitary buildings in the city, and to make this information publicly available on our Land Information Memorandum and Property Information Memorandum records.”
To learn more or to have your say on the proposed changes to this policy, visit the council website.
Submissions close at 4pm on Monday, October 7.
Hardcopy versions of the Statement of Proposal and submission forms are also available at the council’s Customer Service Centre or any of the community libraries, he said.
“We expect to hold hearings in November at the council’s Planning and Strategy Committee. Our Elected Members will meet to consider all submissions and whether to adopt the final Dangerous, Affected and Insanitary Buildings Policy in February 2025.”
