The Government aims to make virtual inspections the default for building consents across the country.

Some councils have expressed reluctance around remote inspections, while others have embraced it.

Minister for Building and Construction Chris Penk says there are mitigations in place to avoid complications. 

"For example, there's a geolocator function in the app that says you can pinpoint the property that's being inspected."
