Building Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 02 Jul 2026

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill amends the Building Act 2004 to address inefficiencies in the building system that increase costs, delay delivery, and constrain performance, including through the clearer allocation of roles, responsibilities, and risk.
