Welcome to our new website

10 August 2006: The Department of Building and Housing’s new website has been designed to make it faster and easier to find the information you need.

The site has been developed according to online best practice to be user-friendly and accessible for a wide range of users, including people with disabilities, and people accessing the site using a range of browsers, personal digital assistants, and assistive technologies.

It includes all the information and resources you are used to accessing from our previous website, along with new information like frequently asked questions and building and tenancy A to Z glossaries.

Please update your links and ‘bookmarked’ pages

If you have bookmarked pages from our previous website in your web browser, or if your organisation’s website has links to our previous website, in most instances you will be redirected automatically to the equivalent page within our new site. If this does not occur, you will need to locate and bookmark the new page.

If you need help finding the information you are used to accessing on our previous website, please email webmaster@dbh.govt.nz.
