350: Board to publish reports

You could also call this:

“The Board must tell everyone about their yearly report and make it easy for people to see and buy it.”

The Building Act 2004 requires the Board to make its annual report available to the public. After the Board gives the report to the Minister, they need to do two things:

Firstly, the Board must tell everyone that the report is ready. They will announce where you can look at the report and where you can buy a copy.

Secondly, the Board must make the report easy for you to access. If you want to read it, you can go to the place they mentioned in their announcement. You can look at it there for free. If you want your own copy, you can buy one for a fair price.

The Board must do these things as soon as they can after giving the report to the Minister. This helps make sure that you and everyone else can learn about what the Board has been doing.
