Sections 371A and 374 of the Building Act 2004 (as replaced by the Building Amendment Act 2013) allow the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment, in addition to territorial and regional authorities, to issue infringement and infringement reminder notices under the principal regulations. These amendments update the forms to reflect the addition of the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment as an enforcement authority.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment.
