Chris Penk speaks on remote building inspections

From Checkpoint, 5:16 pm today

Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk speaks to Susana Lei'ataua about the government moving to force building inspections to be done remotely - which it said will make building a home easier and faster. It's the latest in raft of changes the coalition has introduced to try and get more homes built, including removing minimum floor area requirements and freeing up land so cities can more easily expand outwards.
