Land damage and geotechnical maps
For land damage and geotechnical information specific to the Waimakariri District Council and Christchurch City Council areas click on the links below.
This geotechnical information was released to the public on 19 July 2011.
It is NOT the latest data which will be used to make the final decisions on rezoning.

- Christchurch City Council: Brooklands and Spencerville land damage information [PDF 776KB]
Please note:
The Brooklands and Spencerville information is part of a wider data set that was released to the public on 19 July 2011.
A small “band” of information had been missed off the maps (essentially a gap between the data from Waimakariri and Christchurch City Council that includes Brooklands and Spencerville). After public requests CERA decided to include the complete map set on the website to give a better overal picture of the state of the area.
However, it is NOT the latest data which will be used to make the final decisions on rezoning. The latest lidar information is still being compiled and analysed and will be released at the time the decisions are made in the next few months.
For more information about land damage, including videos of Tonkin & Taylor geotechnical presentations, please see the land damage information page.
