Building Act 2004

Review of building code

Schedule 4: Enactments amended

You could also call this:

“List of other laws and rules changed by the Building Act 2004”

The Building Act 2004 includes a schedule that lists many other laws and rules that needed to be changed because of this new act. These changes affect a wide range of areas, from safety and health to education and local government.

The schedule is divided into three parts. The first part lists changes to national laws, covering topics like civil defence, electricity, gas, health and safety, and many more. The second part mentions changes to two local laws that only apply to specific areas in New Zealand.

The third part of the schedule talks about changes to regulations. Regulations are rules that help carry out the laws. Some of the regulations that needed to be changed deal with dangerous goods, domestic violence, education, and fire safety.
