Christchurch Earthquake – Advice for Building Owners (8.00pm, Wednesday 8 September 2010)8 September 2010
Owners of heritage buildings are advised not to demolish heritage listed buildings without the express written authorisation of the Christchurch City Council.
Demolition cannot be undertaken without the written approval of the Council.
There should be no pre-emptive demolition undertaken by building owners in advance of full structural assessment from a professional engaged by the building’s owner with advice from Christchurch City Council.
Civil Defence Controller Michael Aitken says “The city and the Council value our heritage buildings and will take the most constructive path to recovering them. If there is a concern about building stability, the first response will be to stabilise them if at all possible.” The city has time to take stock of the options regarding building stabilisation. “We advise commercial property owners and residents with significant buildings to use common sense and seek the advice of the Council before taking action,” he says.
Despite the circumstances, the Building Act (2004) still applies. A building consent for urgent building work can be obtained at the Emergency Operations Centre based at the Christchurch Art Gallery. These consents will be subject to safe practice conditions such as disconnecting power and drains, along with appropriate health and safety practices. Heritage conditions will apply.
A red placard means that people should not enter or occupy the building because it has been determined as unsafe. It is not a demolition order. Nor does it mean the adjacent building is ‘red’.
Buildings with a red placard require a further detailed structural assessment by a building professional engaged by the owner. That assessment must then be discussed with the Christchurch City Council’s building evaluation and inspection team to determine options.
There have also been reports that some people have misinterpreted a red placard to mean that they have 10 minutes to collect their belongings. This is not the case. Buildings with red placards are unsafe and should not be entered.
A yellow placard means the building has limited access, as noted on the placard, and further structural assessment is needed by the owner’s consultants.
The meaning of green placards, and buildings that have not yet received placards. has also been clarified. A green placard means there has been a brief inspection only. While no apparent structural or other safety hazards have been found, a more comprehensive inspection of the exterior and interior may reveal structural or safety hazards.
It is the building owner’s or occupier’s responsibility to get further independent advice regarding the safety of any building if necessary. This is also the case for buildings with no placards.
If there is no placard on a building, owners or occupiers should check for visible damage. It is recommended that where there is concern, a registered master builder or, in the case of building integrity a structural engineer, should check the building before declaring it safe to occupy. They should then liaise with the Council about options.
Business owners with enquiries should contact the Council’s Building Evaluation Team via the Christchurch City Council call centre on (03) 941 8999 .
