Regional scale Information that is suitable to be used for the Regional Policy Statement, or regional scale studies/projects, or as an initial indicator of where further investigation may be required. This information is NOT suitable for use at property scale, or for: • district planning • property specific risk assessments • resource or building consents • decisions that concern personal or public safety • the conduct of commercial business • insurance purposes Waikato Regional Council recommends further investigation and using other applicable natural hazard data, if available, for property specific purposes. The information is generally based on previous events or historic mapping/aerial imagery or LiDAR. Users should make sure they are using the most appropriate natural hazards data available.
