Please put 'Owner builder exemption consultation' in the subject line of your email.
The Department will consider all comments received and a summary of the comments will be published on the Department's website: www.dbh.govt.nz
The Department will then make a final recommendation to the Government on the detail of the owner builder exemption. When the legislation needed to put the exemption in place is introduced to Parliament it will be considered by a Select Committee. Any member of the public can make a submission on the legislation to the Select Committee. This means you will have a further opportunity to comment on the detail of the exemption at that time if you wish to.
Please note that all correspondence and comments on this matter may be the subject of a request under the Official Information Act 1982. If there is any part of your correspondence that you consider could properly be withheld under the Act, please include comment to that effect and give reasons why you would want it withheld.
