Proposed District Plan Data

Waikato District Council - Proposed District Plan (Stage 2 Natural Hazards), Notified 27 July 2020.
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.

Flood Ponding Areas are areas of land that experience floodwater ponding in a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) rainfall event. Only two Flood Ponding Areas have been specifically identified on the planning maps. One of the areas is located in the southern part of Huntly adjacent to the eastern bank of the Waikato River and the other is in Huntly West adjacent to Lake Waahi and Lake Puketirini. 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 Defended Area.

Coastal Sensitivity Area (Inundation) identifies land that is potentially vulnerable to coastal inundation 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.

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).

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.
