As we send this newsletter out, Auckland Council has now confirmed property categories for 106 out of 119 properties in Piha and Karekare. The remaining 13 properties in the GHD study areas will receive their categories in April.
For those who have received their property category, your assessment report may refer to GNS Science monitoring data. To find this information, you can visit the GeoNet website and zoom in on the national map and click on the two Piha receivers. You will be provided with graphs that will show any movement at the sites.
GHD study areas
There is one GHD study area in Piha and one in Karekare. If you live in a study area, you will automatically be part of the property categorisation process and will have been contacted by the council.
If you sustained flooding or landslide damage during the 2023 weather events, and you have not heard from us, you can opt into the property categorisation process.
To see if you are part of a GHD study area, you can view this report (29MB).
