Safe and Sanitary

For works that were carried out prior to 1 July 1992.

Generally looks at whether the work is considered safe, the structure is sanitary (not offensive or likely to be a health risk), the structure is subject to dampness, the structure has adequate drinkable water or sanitary facilities (for the intended use).

If Council accepts a safe and sanitary report the report will be held on the property’s file and will show on any land information memorandum.

A letter acknowledging acceptance of the report will be sent to you.

The report may identify remedial work needed to bring the structure up to the required standards.

A building consent may be required for any remedial work.
