We asked

For your comments on the Department's draft Regulatory Impact Assessment of its options for a modernised regime to tackle dilapidation.

You said

You agreed with the Department's preferred option - a new broader regime with enhanced cost recovery provisions, introduced by way of a “Dilapidated / Dangerous Buildings and Neglected Sites” Act. You also highlighted the issue of dilapidated historic buildings and the potential to bring them back in to use. You encouraged the new regime to recognise the distinct challenges posed by heritage buildings.

A final draft Regulatory Impact Assessment will be published on the Department's website in due course.
