The Fault Hazard Overlay is based on the best information available to the Council at the time the Plan was notified. The Overlay contains those known fault traces considered to be active or potentially active. It is anticipated that as development continues within Fault Hazard Overlay areas, that the precise location of fault traces will become better known. Those purchasing or contemplating development of properties located within the Fault Hazard Overlay should obtain the most up to date information held by the Council regarding the precise location of fault traces prior to proceeding. The Overlay indicates areas within which the fault traces are thought to lie. Because most fault traces have not been accurately mapped, an area wider than that which could be affected by any fault rapture has been indicated (the mapped areas are generally 150m wide). It is anticipated that as a better understanding of the risks and location of fault traces is obtained, the extent of the overlay may be reduced by plan changes in the future.
