National pledges to take some building consents off councils

yeah cos taking consents off councils worked so well the last time they tried… what a joke

Tom Harris2026-07-14T21:43:58.000Z

haha true but at this point I'd pay triple if it meant getting it in a week instead of next year

Tom Harris2026-07-14T21:05:58.000Z

bloody hope so. council took 8 months just to approve my shed. shoulda just built it and asked for forgiveness

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T21:15:58.000Z

facts. my neighbour got a consent in 2 days from a private company in aus. bloody joke

Chloe Martin2026-07-14T21:30:58.000Z

oh cool so now we'll have unregulated building and more leaky homes? sounds about right for National

Chloe Martin2026-07-14T21:40:58.000Z

lol cope. you'll be crying when your house falls apart and no council to blame

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T21:40:58.000Z

fffssss can we just get houses built without all the bureaucracy for once

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T21:58:58.000Z

honestly anything that speeds up the process is good with me. we need houses not meetings

Penk is just another politician who's never picked up a hammer. Leave it to the pros mate

Riley Scott2026-07-14T22:43:58.000Z

exactly. like he's ever had to deal with a consent form in his life. clueless

Luca Reid2026-07-14T22:22:58.000Z

sensible move if done right. councils have dropped the ball on processing times for years

Zoe King2026-07-14T22:50:58.000Z

watch it all get privatised and we end up paying triple for a consent from some aussie company
