16793 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction: What advice, reports, or correspondence, if any, has the Minister received on financial hardships for owners in multi-owner earthquake-prone apartment buildings?

Hon Chris Penk: I regularly receive correspondence, reports and advice on financial hardships for owners in multi-owner earthquake prone apartment buildings which is why I requested a review of the current earthquake prone system under the Building Act. In the interest of transparency, a list of titles of relevant papers that I have received from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) are published on MBIE's website: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/about/open-government-and-official-information/release-of-information/lists-of-ministerial-documents-by-portfolio/building-and-construction.
