Dangerous dams policy

Section 161 of the Building Act 2004 (Act) requires all regional councils to adopt a policy on dangerous dams, earthquake-prone dams and flood-prone dams.

This policy sets out what Waikato Regional Council will do in relation to a dangerous, earthquake-prone or flood-prone dam in the Waikato region. It is a short policy that covers our regulatory and legislative responsibilities in relation to these dams under the Building Act 2004.
