Richlister Chris Meehan is taking aim at the Government in a series of advertisements.
The full-page newspaper ads describe Aotearoa as the land of the long red tape, bemoaning the difficulty of getting anything built.
He isn’t alone in making these complaints, with many other construction insiders also expressing the view that regulation has made building projects move at a glacial pace.
So are they right? Are our rules too strict? And if these restrictions were relaxed would that hamper the quality of what’s being built?
Winton Land CEO Chris Meehan, joins The Front Page to explain why he thinks it’s time to bin the bureaucracy, and John Tookey (AUT School of Future Environments) discusses the impact of regulation has had.
