ICW lobbies Government and WCC on behalf of apartment owners affected by the earthquake prone building legislation. To be credible, ICW must have up-to-date facts and figures. We are now providing an opportunity to individual apartment owners to have a say.

We want to know the demographic profile of owners and those living in their apartments, how those people are being and could be affected by the legislation, owners’ views about the legislation, and owners' views on our ideas for how Government should change the EPB regime for multi-owner residential buildings.

The survey closes on Sunday 31 May 2020 at 5pm. Further information about the survey, and a copy of the survey, is available here.
