This
file contains fault mapping used to construct Fault Avoidance Zones and
Fault Awareness Areas for active and possibly active faults in the
TararuaDistrict (GNS CR2021/03). The faults were mapped using LiDAR
data, a regional Digital Surface Model provided by Horizons Regional
Council, data extracted from previous published mapping and from the
current Geological Map of New Zealand 1:250,000 (Heron 2018) and updated
where possible. Faults were typically mapped at 1:5000-1:10,000
scalewhere possible.These data should
be used to assist future land use planning, particularly with regard to
building on "Greenfield" (i.e. previously undeveloped land) sites or in
the renovation of buildings in areas adjacent to active faults in
accordance to the Ministry for the Environment "Planning for Development
on or Close to Active Faults" (Kerr et al., 2003).These data should be used in conjunction with the associated GNS Science report (GNS CR2021/03).
