Within 33 m of protected land — Unnamed plantation reserve

Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.

Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ). Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.

Redefinition survey

Unlikely needed

Based on plan age + survey class

Survey data from LINZ Landonline. A surveyor's boundary redefinition can cost $3–10k+ depending on site conditions — factor it in if you plan to build close to a boundary and existing marks are damaged or missing.
