Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on the Government's changes to the building consent process - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Government is partly removing councils from the building consent process. 

It's announced an opt-in 'self certification scheme' will let qualified tradespeople forgo inspections. 

It'll open to those with a proven track-record, such as companies building scores of near-identical homes. 

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper expects people will react positively to these new changes.
