Homeowners and buyers need to know about hazards

For much of the past decade, all land information memoranda (LIMs) issued by Council have had links to information about natural hazards that affect the district, including flooding, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

Since June 2021, LIMs have included a link to Jacob’s initial report on our website which outlines in detail the methods it is using to develop its assessment of our vulnerability and susceptibility to coastal hazards. Once the final report is released, we are required by law to include this information in newly issued LIMs. Prospective buyers and existing property owners are entitled to the full picture to do their due diligence pre-purchase or when deciding if they want to invest in new buildings or renovations.
