Wanganui District Council is working through a process to identify potentially earthquake-prone buildings (EQPB) and notify the owners of those buildings about their responsibilities. Read more...

Following detailed assessments of our buildings, we have placed notices on Council-owned earthquake-prone buildings to advise the public of the EQPB assessment. Read more...

We are currently considering options for the affected buildings and discussing them with the occupants before the Council makes any decisions about potential interim measures or medium to long term solutions. It is important to note that the ratings apply to a very specific risk (earthquakes) and the buildings are not dangerous under normal conditions.

Shaping Wanganui - Residential Phase

Shaping Wanganui is the name of the Wanganui District Plan Review project currently being undertaken by Council. We are currently in Phase Two of the review process which considers activities and issues relating to our residential areas.

Over the next few months we will be out and about chatting to you at Open Days and, where invited, attending organisations' meetings. We want to know what you like and don't like so much about your street and your neighbourhood, and what would need to happen for your neighbourhood to be better than it is now.
