Auckland's Hazard
Rules Just Changed.
Does your property
know it?

After Auckland's 2023 floods, Plan Change 120 overhauled how hazard risk is assessed — and it now appears on every LIM report. Check 7 hazard layers against your property in seconds, assessed using the same data sources as professional engineering reports.

Seven hazards. One report.

Every Auckland address checked against seven natural hazard layers — drawn from Auckland Council's open GIS data.

Floodplains
Floodplains

The 1% AEP (100-year) flood extent — areas where council hydraulic modelling predicts inundation during a major storm. Based on catchment-level modelling.

Auckland Council GIS
Coastal Erosion
Coastal Erosion

Auckland Council's ASCIE 2130 RCP8.5+ dataset — the projected erosion extent under the high-emissions scenario to 2130, covering all three PC120 coastal erosion hazard areas. Exposed west coast beaches, harbour cliffs, and estuarine edges.

Auckland Council ASCIE 2130
Overland Flow Paths
Overland Flow Paths

Surface stormwater corridors that carry excess runoff when the pipe network reaches capacity. Buildings and structures within the mapped corridor require assessment and may require consent under the AUP.

Auckland Council GIS
Flood Prone Areas
Flood Prone Areas

Topographic depressions identified via LiDAR where water may pond when stormwater drainage is blocked or overwhelmed. Distinct from the floodplain layer.

Auckland Council GIS
Landslide Susceptibility
Landslide Susceptibility2 Sub-Layers

Two separate layers from Auckland Council's 2025 region-wide study (TR2025/7). Shallow landslide susceptibility covers rainfall-triggered soil slips on steep slopes. Large-scale landslide susceptibility covers deeper, structural failures. Every Auckland property is classified Very Low to Very High. Both layers feed into Plan Change 120 consent requirements.

Auckland Council TR2025/7 (WSP, 2025)
Coastal Inundation
Coastal Inundation

Low-lying coastal areas projected to flood under a 100-year storm surge combined with 1 metre of sea level rise. Covers harbours, tidal inlets, and low coastal land. This is the layer used on LIMs and in PC120 consent assessments.

Sample Report

Seven hazard layers.
One clear answer.

Our report checks your Auckland property against every major natural hazard dataset — and tells you what it means in plain English, before you sign anything.

  • Overall hazard score — single 1–5 rating driven by the highest individual risk detected
  • 7 hazard layers — floodplain, flood prone, overland flow, coastal inundation, coastal erosion, landslide (×2)
  • Plain-English findings — what each hazard means for your insurance, financing, and future consents
  • Plan Change 120 context — how Auckland's new hazard rules affect this specific address

Overall Hazard Score

The overall score equals the highest individual hazard score detected. A property with one Very High (5) hazard scores 5 — preventing averaging from masking serious risks.
