Aluminium composite panel buildings

Aluminium composite panels (ACP) is a type of cladding where certain types can have an increased risk of combustion.

We maintain a list of buildings with this cladding that were identified in 2017 within Wellington.

In 2017 the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment investigated the use of aluminium-composite panels (ACP) on New Zealand buildings. To assist with that work, Wellington City Council investigated buildings featuring ACP around the city.

The investigation was prompted by the Grenfell Tower fire disaster in London in July 2017.

The Council’s investigation has confirmed the exteriors of approximately 110 buildings in Wellington City feature ACP to a greater or lesser degree. None of the 110 buildings presents significant concerns in terms of the presence of ACP and the safety of occupants.
