The active fault data displayed here are from a variety of sources. It includes the New Zealand Active Faults Database (NZAFD) which comes in two versions - 1:250,000 scale (NZAFD-AF250) and a high-resolution scale (NZAFD-HighRes) \u2013 and is prepared by the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited (GNS Science). The active fault datasets also include Fault Avoidance Zones (FAZs) and Fault Awareness Areas (FAAs). The NZAFD-AF250 database covers New Zealand mainland, while the NZAFD-HighRes database, FAZs and FAAs are only available for restricted areas of New Zealand (updated periodically and without prior notification). If the FAZs are used to assist future land use planning, this should be done in accordance with the Ministry for the Environment \"Planning for Development on or Close to Active Faults\" (Kerr et al. 2003). The FAAs show where there may be a surface fault rupture hazard, but further work is needed to define a FAZ, and it is recommended that this dataset is used in conjunction with the guidelines developed by Barrell et al. (2015).<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>", "extent":[[685992.4711586592,2489491.3212413406],[4785096.901139386,5961118.034960613]], "url":"https://gis.gns.cri.nz/server/rest/services/Active_Faults/NZActiveFaultDatasets/MapServer" }
