Firstpass: Wellington’s hazard check before the LIM

firstpassnz.com Observed source

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Wellington property tool checks an address against flood, liquefaction, coastal, tsunami, and fault-hazard maps before you spend on a council LIM.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The address workflow combines LINZ address and parcel data with Greater Wellington regional layers and local district-plan overlays where integrated. The listed coverage includes river flooding, overland flow, storm surge, tsunami evacuation, liquefaction, landslide, and active-fault corridors. Coverage is uneven by council: Hutt City and Porirua overlays are included, while Upper Hutt, Kāpiti, and Wairarapa receive regional layers only. The site explicitly separates this informational report from a council LIM, which remains necessary for a purchase.
