Managing earthquake-prone council buildings – a decision framework

This framework is intended for the management of council-owned buildings only. It is not intended to guide a council’s regulatory responsibilities for managing all earthquake-prone buildings in their area in general.

The book was published before the Government’s announcement in September 2025 that it will make changes to the earthquake-prone building system.
