Ray Chung: Wellington City Councillor plans to push for stronger building codes following Loafers Lodge fire - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Yesterday's tragic fire in Wellington has sparked investigations into deficiencies in building codes.

Police are now investigating the fire at Wellington's Loafers Lodge, which killed at least six, as arson.

Wellington City Councillor Ray Chung says he plans to push for a stronger building code, but it's mainly the Government's responsibility to amend the Building Act.

"There's been a lot of comment on this, obviously, but there's a lot of people trying to filter leaders down different paths about what should actually happen, and what we're doing as a council and the things we're being irresponsible about and the things we could actually do."
