Kia ora koutou

On our ICW website, we have just added this document:

• Candidate responses to questions on impacts of the earthquake-prone legislation on Wellington apartment owners over the next triennium and beyond

It collates the responses from 35 candidates to three questions on the impacts of the earthquake-prone legislation on Wellington apartment owners.

The purpose of canvassing candidates for their views is to provide additional information, particularly to apartment owners, for voters in the forthcoming elections.

An overview sheet, and a more detailed summary of the issues, were provided to candidates, with the questions.

The Earthquake-prone buildings page on our website also presents these associated documents:

• Overview for candidates in the 2022 Wellington City Council local body elections - impacts of the earthquake-prone legislation on Wellington apartment owners over the next triennium and beyond

• Impacts of earthquake-prone legislation on apartment owners. Pukehinau/Lambton Ward candidates meeting with ICW Committee, 30 August 2022

ICW understands that the campaign period is a busy time for candidates and appreciates their efforts to respond.

Good luck with your decision-making.
