Description

This document provides guidance for a risk-based process to manage liquefaction related risk in land use planning and development decision-making. While this guidance specifically focuses on liquefaction and its consequences, it is part of a broader objective that buildings and infrastructure be located and built with appropriate consideration of all aspects of the land conditions and natural hazards. This document builds on the understanding that there are equally important parts to be played by resource management land use planning (covered by the Resource Management Act (RMA)) and engineering design (covered by the Building Act).

This guidance covers the consistent planning approach that will make it easier for councils to prepare Resource Management Act policies and plans, and to process resource and building consent applications. This guidance will assist all parties associated with the use and development of land in potentially liquefaction-prone areas.

Scope

A number of significant liquefaction events have occurred in recent years. Land use planning, together with resilient building and infrastructure design that recognises the risks of liquefaction and guides development, has the potential to reduce the consequences of future events.

Developed jointly by MBIE, the Ministry for the Environment and EQC this guidance relates specifically to liquefaction-prone land.
