Ashburton not affected by consent concerns

Ashburton District is not one of the 40 councils affected by Engineering New Zealand’s recent consent concerns.
Engineering New Zealand has advised that more than 1,000 properties may be impacted by one of its members who has allegedly completed and signed documents using others’ identities and credentials to sign consent documents.
The documents include producer statements, which provide assurance to councils that a design meets Building Code and consenting requirements when signed by a Chartered Professional Engineer.
“We have double checked our records and can confirm that we have not received any correspondence from any of the firms or names identified by Engineering New Zealand”, said Group Manager Compliance and Development, Jane Donaldson.
Engineering New Zealand’s website has a public search to check whether members and Chartered Professional Engineers have outstanding notices against them.
