Earthquake Royal Commission - Local authority responses to the Commission's request for information

In October the Earthquake Royal Commission wrote to local authorities throughout the country and requested information regarding the following questions:

Has your Council taken any steps to review any aspect of its earthquake prone building policy since the Canterbury earthquake?

If your Council has taken steps in relation to its Earthquake Prone Policy since the Canterbury Earthquakes, or intends to do so, please advise to what extend your Council has or intend to consult with the following groups: Property Owners, Tenants, The community generally.

The Royal Commission would also like to receive any information you may have, bearing on whether insurers are taking a more demanding approach to the earthquake strengthening of existing building following the Canterbury Earthquakes.

The responses from a large number of local authorities have been released on the Commission's website here.
