Canterbury - Ostler Fault Hazard Area in Mackenzie District Plan 2011

Canterbury - Ostler Fault Hazard Area in Mackenzie District Plan 2011 - The Ostler Fault Hazard Area as shown in the Mackenzie District Plan. The Ostler Fault Hazard Area includes the 'well defined deformation' and 'distributed deformation' areas from the Ostler Fault Zone fault complexity 2010 dataset, with a 100 metre buffer on the upthrown side of these areas and a 50 metre buffer on the downthrown side, as well as the 'uncertain deformation - constrained' areas from the Ostler Fault Zone fault complexity 2010 dataset. The buffer is wider on the upthrown side of the fault, as more ground deformation is seen on the upthrown sides of faults, compared to the downthrown side. The 'uncertain deformation - constrained' area was included in the Ostler Fault Hazard Area because two 'well defined' and 'distributed' areas 'disappear' into this area, meaning that the fault traces could continue under this area.Mackenzie District Council has placed restrictions on development in the Ostler Fault Hazard Area as outlined in the Mackenzie District Plan (Plan Change 15 and Variation 1 to Plan Change 13). ContactMackenzie District Council for requirements for development in this area.
