HIGH OVERALL RISK

Overall Risk Score: 4/5

This property has been assessed across 5 natural hazard categories using publicly available Auckland Council, GNS Science, and NIWA data. The overall score reflects the highest individual hazard score across all categories.

Detailed Hazard Assessments
🌊

Flood Plains

HIGH RISK
4/5

This property falls within a mapped flood plain. During a 1-in-100 year rainfall event, modelling indicates water depths up to 0.4 m are possible across the lower portion of the site. The risk is elevated by proximity to a local catchment channel approximately 180 m to the north.

Recommended Actions

  • Review Auckland Council flood maps and consult a licensed engineer before any major ground-floor renovation.
  • Ensure floor levels meet minimum freeboard requirements (typically 500 mm above flood plain level).
  • Consider flood-resilient materials for ground-floor fit-out.

Coastal Inundation (1 m Sea-Level Rise)

LOW RISK
2/5

Under a 1 m sea-level rise scenario combined with a 100-year storm surge, inundation is not projected to reach this property. The site sits approximately 1.8 m above the modelled inundation boundary. Risk may increase under higher sea-level rise projections beyond 2100.

Recommended Actions

  • Monitor Auckland Council coastal hazard updates as climate projections are revised.
  • Check with your insurer whether coastal inundation is covered under your policy.

💧

Overland Flow Paths

MODERATE RISK
3/5

An overland flow path traverses the rear of the site. During heavy rainfall events, surface runoff from the catchment to the south is channelled across this path before discharging to the road reserve. Building structures within this corridor is restricted under Auckland Unitary Plan rules.

Recommended Actions

  • Do not build structures (sheds, decks, retaining walls) across the overland flow path without resource consent.
  • Keep the flow path clear of debris and vegetation that could impede water movement.
  • Consult a drainage engineer if you plan any earthworks near the rear boundary.

🌧️

Flood-Prone Areas

MODERATE RISK
3/5

The property is partly located within a flood-prone area designation under the Auckland Unitary Plan. This overlay indicates susceptibility to ponding or inundation from local stormwater systems during intense rainfall. Development within this overlay requires assessment of flood risk.

Recommended Actions

  • Obtain a LIM report to confirm the full extent of any flood-prone overlays on the title.
  • Engage a civil engineer to assess drainage and floor level compliance for any proposed additions.

Coastal Erosion (2130 Projection)

VERY LOW RISK
1/5

Based on the Auckland Susceptible Coastal Infrastructure and Erosion (ASCIE) 2130 RCP8.5+ projections, the property is outside the coastal erosion hazard area. No significant coastal erosion risk is identified for the site within the current modelling horizon.
