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.

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.
