What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
Part of this property is inside a mapped flood area.
District plan zones as Auckland publishes them. What a site may be used for, and what may be built on it.
Land the council models as under water in a 1-in-100-year storm, usually with an allowance for climate change.
A low point where stormwater ponds if its outlet blocks or overflows.
Land beside a flood plain that could flood if the model is out, or the storm is bigger.
Land the sea reaches in a 1-in-100-year storm tide once sea level has risen by 1 m.
Streets whose built character is protected: demolition and new building are assessed against the area's existing form, whatever the zone allows.
A scheduled historic place. Work on it, including demolition, needs consent against the heritage schedule.
An explicit building height for this land, replacing the one its zone would give.
A protected view of a volcanic cone. Inside it, building height is capped at a fixed level above sea level to keep the cone visible.
A locally protected view of a cone, with its own height ceiling.
The protected view of the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
Skyline land where building height is controlled so the ridge stays a ridge.
A scheduled tree. It may not be felled or topped without consent, which makes it a permanent part of the skyline.
A scheduled stand of trees, protected as a group.
Local rules written for this area alone, which override the underlying zone where they differ.

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.
Auckland Council does not publish its contaminated sites records. A site contamination enquiry (a fee applies) or the LIM will say what it holds.
Ask Auckland CouncilSee 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.
