The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has approved the registration of Christchurch-based Building Consent Approvals Limited (BCAL) as New Zealand’s first standalone building consent authority (BCA).
The Government is expanding the permitted voltage range for New Zealand’s electricity networks and making changes to the building consent process to help increase the uptake of residential solar.
The Government is investing an additional $35 million through its new Tourism Growth Roadmap to increase international visitor numbers, improve tourism infrastructure and drive economic growth.
