Are we heading for another Leaky Homes debacle???
I see we have had an unqualified person signing off on100's of Council Plans (in the North Island I think). I hope this does not lead to more leaky homes or unsafe structures. I wonder if this is a sign of frustration with local authorities. I have heard of 2 recent cases in New Plymouth where Council staff have not bothered to check plans submitted before calling for a property inspection. They have been found lacking and had to accept they did not bother to check first. All the more serious as home owner's/builder's have often spent big money to get the likes of architects to complete design work. Appears to be part of a plan to keep Council to legislated time frame as each time they reject the countdown can start again. When you consider the costs that keep getting heaped on ratepayers you would think we would at least get a good service.
