A line depicting the inland boundary of the coastal environment to which the RCEP applys.

Much of the settled Hawke’s Bay region is low lying and built on river flood plains. This brings the risk of flooding, which is our most common natural hazard - a severe storm or flood happens every 10 years on average. Major storms affect wide areas and can be accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall, thunder, lightning, and rough seas. They...

Boat safe distance depth - generalised 50m

This dataset is a subset of data, prepared by the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences for the Hawke's Bay Regional Council, designed to help the Council plan to reduce the adverse impacts of future earthquakes. This data set refers to polygons in Hawke's Bay within each of which the ground has been assigned a uniform class of response to seismic...

Depicts the confined and unconfined productive aquifers in the Hawke's Bay

The HBRC, as a Harbour Authority under the Local Government Act 1974, is responsible for navigation safety inside the Pilotage Limits. This area is shown on the planning maps in Volume 2 of the RCEP. These functions are carried out by the Harbour Master under the HBRC Navigation and Safety Bylaws. This is recognised in Guideline 1. Outside the pilotage...

This dataset contains information on the landcover in Hawke's Bay. The region is divided into polygons, each of which has a consistent predominant landcover throughout, as determined from satallite images and some site visits. Each record in the data set is associated with one of the polygons, and it includes some dimensional statistics for the polygon...

Extent of Area of Unsustainable Land Use

An area where stock must not enter in the upper Ahuriri Estuary.

Minimum Flow Sites

Is the area between mean high water springs and the inland coastal boundary. The land area to which the RCEP applies.

An aquifer fills with water from rain or melted snow that drains into the ground. In some areas, the water passes through the soil on top of the aquifer; in others, it enters through joints and cracks in rocks. The water moves downward until it meets less permeable rock. Aquifers act as reservoirs for groundwater. Water from aquifers sometimes flows out...

Sustainable Landuse Classes in HBRC

This is a spatial indicative representation of the water takes that supply drinking water to people. These are known to be registered under the Health Act, and supply more than 25 people with drinking water for more than 60 days per year. This is not a complete dataset of all registered supplies s- just the ones that are consented by HBRC Hawke's Bay...

The Coastal Environment means an environment in which the coast is a significant element or part, and includes: (a) the coastal marine area; (b) any areas identified as being affected by, or potentially affected by, coastal flooding or coastal erosion; (c) any of the following: (i) tidal waters and the land above mean high water springs; (ii) dunes; (iii)...
