Hazard overlay impact
Flood plains and stormwater, Takanini and low-lying Manurewa in particular. High-risk flood, landslide, coastal erosion and inundation areas face downzoning or highly restricted new development. Some hazard rules already have legal effect under RMA s86B(3), check the official explanatory note. Check your own parcel on the official map.
Likely effects to address in a submission
- Infrastructure capacity, wastewater, stormwater, roads, schools.
- Hazard risk to people and property (flood, slip, coastal).
- Walkable access to rapid transit.
- Special character / heritage as a qualifying matter (only with mapped streets).
- Urban design, bulk, dominance, shading.
- Three waters and overland flow paths.
Theoretical capacity is not "buildings that will be built next year". Market, infrastructure funding and consenting still decide what gets built.
