Revised Tsunami Evacuation Zones February 2025
New tsunami inundation modelling February 2025, for Hurunui and Kaikōura coasts shows the potential for larger tsunamis along the Kaikōura coast (particularly north of Hapuku) than previously thought.
The new Tsunami Evacuation Zone maps and other detailed information can be viewed by visiting https://www.cdemcanterbury.govt.nz/hazards/tsunamis

How does this impact my LIM?
Tsunami evacuation zones are mentioned in LIMs because it is important for people to be aware of the zones and what they mean. Tsunami evacuation zones are not relevant for land use planning; the return periods of the tsunami scenarios the zones are based on is much longer than that typically used for land use planning.
These zones indicate areas that people should evacuate as a precaution if they feel a long or strong earthquake or if they receive an official tsunami warning.
It is recommended to contact ECan for further information on how this may impact one’s property.

Property Files
New system for property file requests from 8 Sept 2022
In the past Kaikōura District Council operated paper records. For several years, we have created and stored all new information electronically. We have also been scanning historic files. We have now reached a stage that all property files have been scanned as digital files.
We know the file information can be critical for you to make important decisions.
To ensure that you get a complete set of documents every time you request a property file, we will now provide a fully electronic copy.
You can no longer view the physical property files on request in person at our office.
We will check the property information for completeness before it is released.
Here is the link to the updated property file request form :
If you wish to view a property file, please send us a completed Property File Request Form by email to kdc@kaikoura.govt.nz. You can download a Property File Request Form by clicking the button below or call us on 03 319 5026 and we will send you a form. Please allow 10 working days for us to get an electronic version of the complete Property File to you. This comes into effect on Thursday the 8 September 2022.
