Design standards for earthquake loadings on buildings were first introduced in New Zealand in 1935 following the 1931 Napier earthquake. Since then, significant advances in the required design standards have been made with major changes incorporated in 1965 and 1976. A number of existing buildings now fall short of the standard required for new buildings.
A NEW Fire Prevention Bylaw, which limits the lighting of open-air fires in the urban district of Hutt City, comes into effect from August 1. It does not apply to rural areas of the city.
The bylaw aims to stop the burning of vegetation and other combustible materials that are a nuisance or will pollute the environment. In particular, it limits the use of backyard incinerators, which can be used up to July 1, 2009, if they don’t cause a smoke nuisance. After that date, they will be prohibited.
Large areas of Hutt City are contained within two relatively narrow valleys - Hutt and Wainuiomata - with rivers and streams draining water from the surrounding hills and ranges out to the sea.
