Purpose:The coastal inundation hazard layers map describes the areas exposed to extreme water levels caused by storm tides, wave setup and sea-level rise under the following scenarios (where AEP is the Annual Exceedance Probability or the chance of occurring each year, ARI is the Average Recurrence Interval):20% AEP (5 year return)5% AEP (20 year return)2% AEP (50 year return)1% AEP (100 year return): to demonstrate present day risk in alignment with the Auckland Unitary Plan activity controls2% AEP (50 year return) + 1m sea level rise2% AEP (50 year return) + 2m sea level rise1% AEP (100 year return) + 1m sea level rise: in alignment with Auckland Unitary Plan activity controls1% AEP (100 year return) + 2m sea level rise: to demonstrate longer term risk with ongoing sea-level riseThis is a generalised version of the data. Download the original full dataset with layer files here:https://data-aucklandcouncil.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/coastal-inundation-hazards-geodatabase/aboutThe layer takes into account extreme sea levels calculated between 2013 and 2019, as compiled in Carpenter, N., R Roberts and P Klinac (2020). Auckland’s exposure to coastal inundation by storm-tides and waves. Auckland Council technical report, TR2020/24. Auckland’s exposure to coastal inundation by storm-tides and waves (knowledgeauckland.org.nz)Sea-level rise values applied currently align with the projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sixth assessment report (2021), and the Ministry for the Environment (2022) Interim guidance on the use of new sea-level rise projections, which updates the Ministry for the Environment Coastal Hazards and Climate Change Guidance for Local Government (2017). In MfE’s (2022) Interim guidance, (excluding vertical land movement) one metre sea-level rise is projected to occur between 2095 - >2200, depending on the emission scenario used. Two metre sea-level rise is projected to occur in the longer term (beyond 2150). MfE’s (2022) Interim guidance recommends the inclusion of vertical land movement (VLM) in relative sea level rise considerations. These are not included in the above sea level rise predictions due to the high VLM variability across the region. Vertical land movement is generally predicted to increase the rates of relative sea level rise for the Auckland region so should also be incorporated in planning and design.Refer to Interim guidance on the use of new sea-level rise projections | Ministry for the Environment for more information on MfE’s interim guidance on sea level rise and vertical land movement.Lineage:3Extreme sea levels for the Auckland region were derived by NIWA in 2013 (Part 1 of Technical Report 2020/24). From 2016-2019, additional extreme sea level data was gathered for:The east coast estuaries (NIWA, 2016; Part 2 of Technical Report 2020/24)Parakai/Helensville Harbour (DHI, 2019; Part 3 of Technical Report 2020/24)Great Barrier Island (NIWA, 2019; Part 4 of Technical Report 2020/24)In 2020, these levels were projected onto the land topography (derived from the 2016-2018 LiDAR survey) by Stantec to establish the extent of coastal flooding.

Retrolens is made up of a treasure trove of aerial photographs that have been taken since the 1936 through to 2005. It is a New Zealand Crown archive and contains 500,000 images. Historical Image Resource came about as the result of a scanning project that was started in 2015 by partnerships between the Local Government Geospatial Alliance (LGGA) and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). The two organisations were concerned that the treasure was deteriorating and with fewer and fewer scanners worldwide able to read the images, something had to be done quickly before this significant slice of our cultural and geospatial history was lost forever. An initial pilot was undertaken to test out the viability of a full scanning project for the whole archive, then the project itself, led by LINZ began. Local Government Geospatial Alliance (LGGA) representing the geospatial section of New Zealand’s local authorities created area co-funding partnerships with LINZ to enable the funding for the scanning. The project began with three partner regions (Canterbury, Waikato and Bay of Plenty). Council partners continue to join the project progressively from across NZ as different areas became aware of the project and have funding to be able to join the initiative. It is estimated that the scanning of the Crown archive will be completed by 2021. The photos were taken for a range of reasons such as land management and mapping. The value of these images is in showing change across New Zealand. Key drivers for having the images scanned broadly speaking are better decision making, complying with regulatory requirements and cultural heritage with specifics including using the images to support potential identification of “HAIL” contaminated land sites, accretion and recession of coastlines, changes in areas of significant vegetation and changes in river pathways. The footprints of the scanned images have been made available on the LINZ Data Service. Some of the digitised surveys are available for download (1936 – 2005), released under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 NZ. In time it is expected that more surveys will become available. Note that the photographs have been mapped to varying degrees of accuracy and the markers may therefore not represent the exact field of view or location of the image. The following LGGA regional council members are involved in this Retrolens - Historical Image Resource project: Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Environment Canterbury, Environment Southland, Hawkes Bay Regional Council, Marlborough District Council, Tasman District Council, Waikato Regional Council.

Prepared through Variation 1 to the BOP RPS in order to give effect to requirements of NZCPS2010. The Environment Bay of Plenty Regional Council is required under the Resource Management Act and the National Coastal Policy Statement, to define the landward edge of the coastal environment and the areas of high natural character within that environment.The base datasets used in this project were of varying accuracies and from a variety of sources, including the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, relevant Local Authorities, Government agencies and Boffa Miskell internal resources. Detailed information on the datasets obtained is included in the appendices. On evaluation of the spatial accuracies of the data available, the mapping scale chosen to undertake this project was 1:50,000. This scale is sufficient for a regional project, how the resulting lines depicting the Zone of Coastal Dominance and Zone of Coastal Influence should not be used at scales below this i.e. at property level.The coastal environment has been identified using the following criteria, to include:(a) The coastal marine area and islands within the coastal marine area;(b) Areas where coastal processes, influences or qualities are significant including coastal lakes, lagoon, tidal estuaries, salt marshes, coastal wetlands, and their margins;(c) Areas at risk from coastal hazards(e) Coastal vegetation and the habitat of indigenous coastal species including migratory birds(f) Elements and features that contribute to the natural character, landscape, visual qualities or amenity values;(g) Items of cultural and historic heritage in the coastal marine area or on the coastal;(h) Inter-related coastal marine and terrestrial systems, including the intertidal zone; and(i) Physical resources and built facilities, including infrastructure, that have modified the coastal environment.

This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released territorial authority boundaries as at 1 January 2023 as defined by territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission, and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian). This version contains 67 territorial authorities, excluding ‘area outside territorial authority’.

​

Territorial authorities are the second tier of local government in New Zealand, below regional councils. They are defined under schedule 2, part 1 of the Local Government Act 2002 as city councils or district councils. Territorial authorities were established in 1989 when 205 territorial local authorities were replaced by 75 territorial authorities. Territorial boundaries must coincide with meshblock boundaries under schedule 3, clause 17 of the Local Government Act 2002.

​

There are 67 territorial authorities: 12 city councils, 53 district councils, Auckland Council, and Chatham Islands Council. Five territorial authorities (Auckland Council, Nelson City Council, and the Gisborne, Tasman, and Marlborough district councils) also perform the functions of a regional council and are therefore unitary authorities. The Chatham Islands Council performs some regional council functions.

​

Some territorial authority boundaries are coterminous with regional council boundaries but there are several exceptions. An example is Taupo District, which is split between four regions, although most of its area falls within the Waikato Region. When defining the boundaries of territorial authorities, the Local Government Commission bases considerable weight on the ‘community of interest’.

​

Territorial authorities are defined at meshblock level. Statistical area 1, statistical area 2 and statistical area 3 geographies nest within territorial authority boundaries.

​

Maintenance

Local government boundaries may be changed through the Local Government Act 2002, an Act of Parliament, or a natural process such as the middle line of a river changing its natural course.

​

The Territorial Authority classification is released annually on 1 January to coincide with the update of meshblocks, but there are not always changes from the previous classification.

​

1989:

New Zealand’s local government structural arrangements were significantly reformed by the Local Government Commission in 1989. Prior to reformation there were 205 territorial local authorities: 28 cities, 78 boroughs, 67 counties, 31 districts, and 1 town district, as well as a multitude of ad-hoc authorities such as pest control boards, drainage boards, catchment boards, and domain and reserve boards.

​

These were replaced by 74 territorial local authorities, 15 of which were cities and 58 districts. The exception was Chatham Islands County which retained its county status.

​

1990:

Invercargill was proclaimed a city.

​

1992:

Nelson-Marlborough Regional Council was abolished by a Local Government Amendment Act. Kaikoura District was transferred to the Canterbury Region. Nelson City, and Tasman and Marlborough districts became unitary authorities.

​

1995:

The Chatham Islands County was dissolved and reconstituted by a specific Act of Parliament as the "Chatham Islands Territory", with powers similar to those of territorial authorities and some functions similar to those of a regional council. This included the addition of territorial sea, a coastal buffer extending to twelve nautical miles from the coastline.

​

1995:

Tasman District boundary extended to align with the Tasman Region boundary at the 12-mile limit.

​

1998:

Not Applicable category changed to Area Outside Territorial Authority

​

2004:

Tauranga District changed to Tauranga City.2006:Banks Peninsula District merged into Christchurch City as a result of a Local Government Commission decision following a 2005 referendum.

​

2010:

Auckland Council established under the Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009. Rodney District, North Shore City, Waitakere City, Auckland City, Manukau City, Papakura District, and Franklin District territorial councils, and the Auckland Regional Council, were abolished to become a unitary authority known as the Auckland Council. The area now consists of one city council (with statutory provision for three Māori councillors), 13 wards, and 21 local boards.

​

2015:

Wanganui District Council name changed to Whanganui District Council effective 1 December 2015.

​

2020:

Otorohanga District Council name amended to Ōtorohanga District Council.

​

Opotiki District Council name amended to Ōpōtiki District Council.

​

Both changes were under schedule 2 of the Local Government Act 2002 and effective 17 January 2020.

​

2021:

A local government reorganisation transferred land between two territorial authorities, Western Bay of Plenty District and Tauranga City. The changes took effect on 19 February 2021 under schedule 3 of the Local Government Act 2002. Refer to the New Zealand Gazette notice for further details.

​

This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released ward boundaries as at 1 January 2023 as defined by the territorial authorities and Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ. This version contains 224 wards, excluding ‘area outside ward’.

​

Wards are defined under the Local Electoral Act 2001 and result from dividing a territorial authority for electoral purposes. Wards were originally set up within any territorial authority with a population of at least 20,000. The ward system was designed to allow for the recognition of communities within a territorial authority and to increase community involvement in the local government system.

​

Territorial authorities can now choose whether they would like to maintain electoral wards. As a result, the number of wards has steadily decreased since they were first created in 1989. Ward boundaries are reviewed in the year before the three-yearly local government elections.

​

Wards are defined at meshblock level, and do not coincide with the statistical area 1 (SA1) geography or the statistical area 2 (SA2) geographies.

​

**Numbering **

Wards are numbered based on their corresponding territorial authority. Each ward has a unique five-digit number. The first three digits represent the territorial authority that the ward lies within. The following two digits are sequential and represent the number of wards within a territorial authority. For example, Westland District (057) has three wards, which are coded 05701, 05702, and 05703.

​

Some territorial authorities do not use wards. In the classification, these territorial authorities use ‘99’ for the last two digits of the ward code, and the descriptor “Area Outside Ward”.

Purpose: This data has been published to support the Waikato Regional Hazards Portal. This data is part of the Coastal Hazards and the emergency management themes. Note layers may be slow to load. Statement: “TSUNAMI INUNDATION ZONES" (formerly known as 'Blue is wet'), are those that may be affected by tsunami in a maximum credible tsunami event, i.e. they represent the expected worst-case tsunami inundation. These areas represent areas that should be evacuated from in the event of a “long or strong” earthquake, or a tsunami warning. The tsunami inundation zones were derived differently for the different coastal areas in the Waikato. For the Coromandel Peninsula, the Firth of Thames and Kawhia Harbour, Marokopa, Awakino and Mokau, the inundation zones are a simplified version of the modelled extent for a maximum credible tsunami event – wave heights vary and there is unlikely to be time for an official tsunami warning. For the remaining populated locations of the West Coast (Port Waikato, Raglan Harbour, Aotea Harbour, Taharoa, Kiritehere and North of Marokopa, Waikawau and North of Awakino, the inundation zones are areas likely to be susceptible to tsunami, based on preliminary modelling and investigation – wave heights are likely to be relatively small, and there will likely be time for an official tsunami warning. For more information on tsunami evacuation, including Community Response Plans, the Emergency Management staff for the relevant District Council should be contacted. More information on tsunami hazard can be found on the Waikato Regional Council tsunami webpages.“SAFE ZONES” are areas that should be evacuated to in the event of a tsunami, if it is possible to do so. Note that for most of the Waikato coastline, in local (NZ) or regional (SW Pacific) sourced tsunami causing events, there is unlikely to be time for an official tsunami warning, thus follow the “Long or Strong: Get Gone” message. The Safe Zones are defined as areas in the vicinity of the coast which are above the 20m contour line. The 20m contour line is used, as for the eastern Coromandel (highest tsunami hazard in the Waikato region), this elevation is not predicted to be affected by a maximum credible tsunami event in any coastal communities. The 20 m contour is used for the rest of the Waikato Region for consistency and to be conservative (although tsunami wave heights are predicted to be lower for the Western Coromandel, Firth of Thames and West Coast – as shown by the “Tsunami inundation zones". Note that due to the low-lying nature of the Hauraki Plains, no “Safe zone” exists for this area inland. The messaging is instead to move as far away as possible from the coast and any rivers connected to the coast. For more information on tsunami evacuation, including Community Response Plans, the Emergency Management staff for the relevant District Council should be contacted. More information on tsunami hazard can be found on the Waikato Regional Council tsunami webpages.Intended Use Scale: Data should not be used at scales greater than 1:2,500Data Use Limits:As per statement above and disclaimers below.Data is mostly dependent on updates to LiDAR data. Once the new region-wide LiDAR data becomes available it is recommended there be a full review of all Safe Zone data. This is likely to be in 2024. Data may also be subject to changes due to any shifts in central government agency policies around the identification, mapping and use of Tsunami evacuation related data and may need to be reviewed accordingly if this happens.Data Specific Disclaimers:Waikato Regional Council uses ESRI GIS software and provides this WFS service for non ESRI users. However, Waikato Regional Council cannot guarantee the services will work in non ESRI software. Waikato Regional Council holds no responsibility for supporting these WFS services should issues be encountered.The Safe zones and Inundation zones data should be considered indicative only. While some areas are based on reasonably accurate LiDAR based contours, in other areas, where no LiDAR data is available, the 20m contour is based on NZTOPO50 data that is less accurate. Some LiDAR data is also old and in need of updating.Any data sets or maps derived from this information (either published or unpublished) should comply with and contain the following disclaimer: “This map has been prepared using data supplied by the eCoast under contract to Waikato Regional Council.
