Proposed District Plan Data

Waikato District Council - Proposed District Plan (Stage 2 Natural Hazards), Notified 27 July 2020. The following is a generalized metadata notation, layer specific metadata is in preparation.
This layer is a spatial representation of an overlay in the Proposed District Plan and indicates where land use will be regulated by various associated rules. It will be used as a guide in the regulatory process of implementing the Proposed District Plan and managing land use, subdivision, the environment and economy. This dataset is subject to changes undertaken through the Resource Management act. Note individual Proposed Plan rules can have different statuses, some may have current legal effect and others will not until the Proposed Plan becomes operative. This data is provided for use in the District Plan only.

Defended Areas are areas of land that would be at risk from flooding during a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood event if it were not for a structural defence such as a stopbank (These areas are not defended from all flood events. They are defended from flooding from a specified water course up to a specified design flood event). This belongs to the series of data relating to Natural Hazards which includes the following groups - coastal erosion, coastal inundation, inland flooding, and land subsidence. This layer belongs to the inland flooding group. Use in conjunction with High Risk Flood Area, Flood Plain Management Area,and Flood Ponding Area.

The Mine Subsidence Risk Area identifies land in Huntly East that is currently at risk of subsidence due to historic underground coal mining activities and the subsequent closure and refilling of the Huntly East underground mine. An assessment has been carried out to confirm the likelihood of ongoing mine subsidence and methane gas migration from mine workings to the ground surface above the Huntly East mine and the South Headings as a result of the closure of the Huntly East Mine and subsequent flooding of the underground mine workings (see Appendix 5(c) of Section 32 report Natural Hazards and Climate Change). This belongs to the series of data relating to Natural Hazards which includes the following groups - coastal erosion, coastal inundation, inland flooding, and land subsidence. This layer belongs to the land subsidence group (this is the only layer in this group).

High Risk Coastal Hazard Area (Erosion) identifies areas where there is already significant risk from coastal erosion with existing sea level and coastal processes in the short term (within the lifespan of a district plan). This belongs to the series of data relating to Natural Hazards which includes the following groups - coastal erosion, coastal inundation, inland flooding, and land subsidence. This layer belongs to the coastal erosion group. Use in conjunction with Coastal Sensitivity (Erosion) Area and Coastal Sensitivity Area (Open Coast).

Coastal Sensitivity Area (Erosion) identifies land that is potentially vulnerable to coastal erosion over a 100 year period to 2120, assuming a sea level rise of 1.0 metre due to the projected effects of climate change. This belongs to the series of data relating to Natural Hazards which includes the following groups - coastal erosion, coastal inundation, inland flooding, and land subsidence. This layer belongs to the coastal erosion group. Use in conjunction with High Risk Coastal Hazard (Erosion) Area and Coastal Sensitivity Area (Open Coast).
