Sew Hoy’s Gold Workings and Water Race System

List No. 9291Built 1862–1989Listed 2019

Sew Hoy’s Nokomai Workings and Water System, operating between the mid-1890s and 1943, has outstanding heritage significance. It is associated with pioneering Chinese businessman Choie Sew Hoy and his family, and is one of the longest running and most successful hydraulic sluicing claims in Otago and Southland. It provides insight into an integrated system of workings and water races in an isolated and rugged area.

Land register

Emissions Trading Scheme

This title carries a Climate Change Response Act notice: the land is forest land in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme.

  • Notice that the land is in the scheme9111245.1 · registered 29 Jun 2012

The notice says the land is in the scheme, not how: it may be pre-1990 forest land, post-1989 forest registered by the owner or by someone holding forestry rights, permanent forest, or offsetting land. Whatever the kind, the obligations go with the land. Clearing the forest can mean surrendering carbon units, and a buyer of registered post-1989 land takes over the registration unless the seller leaves the scheme first. Ask for the notice and the seller's ETS position before you buy, and see MPI's guide to ETS notices on titles.

Zoning and hazards

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
