You and your Council. My last blog hit a nerve with some in regard to their relationship with their Council over their pools. We deal with lots of Councils and my advice is to work with them as they are striving for safety.
If things get into a protracted dispute and you think they are wrong, there are a couple of options. You can ask for a ‘Determination’ from MBIE. This is the nuclear option and can be long, legalistic and expensive.
A lesser confrontational option is one we have been involved in several times. Ask your Council if you can employ an IQPI and be guided by their opinion. Sometimes it’s the same – sometimes its not. What can be wrong about getting a second opinion?
