Minister for the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) Ricky Fuo’o has announced that the ministry will begin implementing the Building Code Act 2025 by the end of this year.
This follows the passing of the Act last year.
In preparation for its enactment, the ministry is in the process of setting up a board to oversee its implementation.
Fuo’o shared these details during a press conference held by the ministry on Tuesday.
“As you are aware, the Building Code was passed and enacted last year. Now, we are finalising the board members to oversee its execution,” Fuo’o said.
The minister also noted that the ministry is receiving technical support from DFAT, with a technical advisor being assigned to assist with the implementation of the Building Code.
“We are making good progress, and we hope to begin the implementation of the Building Code Act by the end of this year,” he said.
As part of the implementation process, the ministry will start inspecting buildings, issuing notices, and taking other necessary actions to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
