RBNZ’s Wellington building to reopen following isolated asbestos disturbance – Reserve Bank of New Zealand – Te Pūtea Matua

The remediation work has been fully assessed by a specialist asbestos consultant following removal works undertaken by a Class A licensed asbestos removal contractor. As part of this process, WorkSafe New Zealand reviewed all documentation and has confirmed that the area is safe for building re-entry.

The building closure has not impacted RBNZ operations.

Despite the reopening of the Reserve Bank’s Wellington building, plans to host the November Monetary Policy Statement media conference from the RBNZ’s Auckland premises on Wednesday 26 November will proceed as planned.
