These Fault Avoidance Zones (FAZs) 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 with the Ministry for the Environment "Planning for Development on or Close to Active Faults" (Kerr et al. 2003). The key attributes applicable to planning purposes are: Fault Complexity (the width and distribution of the deformed land around the fault trace); and Recurrence Interval (the average time between surface ruptures) Class. Kerr J, Nathan S, Van Dissen R, Webb P, Brunsdon D, King A. 2003. Planning for development of land on or close to active faults. Lower Hutt (NZ): Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences Ltd. 67 p. (Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences client report; 2002/124). http://www.mfe.govt.nz/publications/rma/planning-development-land-or-close-active-faults-guideline-assist-resource.

These are Fault Avoidance Zones (FAZs) for active faults in onshore New Zealand, as defined by the 2003 Ministry for the Environment "Planning for Development on or Close to Active Faults" guidelines (MfE Active Fault Guidelines). Created by GNS Science and compiled from local and regional active fault studies. This database represents the most current and up-to-date information on FAZs in New Zealand and is subject to change with future advances in data, knowledge and understanding.
