Planning decisions delayed by two weeks. Risk of not meeting statutory targets set by National Government. Risk to investment and funding that is time dependent.
There is statutory deadlines where the BC team must make a decision at five week or two months from the date of submission. A two week delay would potentially push decisions beyond the statutory time periods causing the application to be rejected and potential delaying construction or losing the business to a private BCB with a loss of income.
Dangerous structure response received during office hours are responded to within one hour of receipt and two hours outside of office hours. This response cannot be delayed as public safety would be put at risk. Buildings open to access are also inspected within one hour of receipt during normal office hours. Such reports out of hours will have to inspect in case there is a danger internally and hence such reports will be responded to within two hours of receipt. A delayed response expose the Council to a risk if persons are subsequently injured.
The BC team have a statutory obligation to ensure designated sports stadia are safe to use and that sports stadia management are meeting their obligations under the Safety at Sports Ground Act 1975.
Public safety at designated sporting stadia cannot be left unchecked. The Council would be exposed and be at risk should harm occur to a spectator/spectators.
Failure to inspect can result in defective building work and expose the Council to future claims for us not exercise our duty of care.
More potholes, more tripping accidents and more flooding on the roads
