LIQUEFACTION ASSESSMENT SUMMARY<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

This liquefaction assessment has been undertaken in general accordance with the guidance document <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

\u2018Assessment of Liquefaction-induced Ground Damage to Inform Planning Processes\u2019 published by the <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Ministry for the Environment and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment in 2017.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Assessment undertaken <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

by<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Tonkin & Taylor Ltd, PO Box 317, Tauranga 3140<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Extent of the Study Area The Study Area aligns with the Bay of Plenty Regional Council boundary<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

excluding the Tauranga City Council territory. The Study Area also includes <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

two areas outside of the regional boundary, that being a small area to the <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

west of Mamaku and a large area south of Lake Rotorua to incorporate all of <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

the Rotorua Lakes Council Territory.<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Intended RMA planning <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

and consenting purposes<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

To provide BOPRC with a region-wide liquefaction vulnerability assessment to<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

identify areas of land susceptible to liquefaction as required in the Regional <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Policy Statement (RPS). The technical report and resulting map outputs will be <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

used to inform land use, subdivision and building consent applications. In <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

particular the vulnerability assessment outputs will be utilised by stake <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

holders to inform the risk assessment requirements for liquefaction prone <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

land. <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Other intended purposes Not applicable<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Level of detail Level A (basic desktop assessment)<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Notes regarding base <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

information<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

The available base information provides enough information for a Level A <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

(basic desktop assessment) level of detail across the Study Area. The main <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

factor controlling this level of detail is the spatial extent of the available <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

geotechnical investigations and groundwater information across the Study <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Area. There are some small areas (e.g. parts of Whakatāne and Rotorua) <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

where higher levels of detail could be supported by the available base <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

information. Undertaking these studies at a higher level of detail is outside of <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

the scope of work for this project. <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Other notes This assessment has been made at a broad scale across the entire region and <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

is intended to approximately describe the typical range of liquefaction <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

vulnerability across neighbourhood-sized areas. It is not intended to precisely <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

describe liquefaction vulnerability at individual property scale. This <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

information is general in nature, and more detailed site-specific liquefaction <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

assessment may be required for some purposes (e.g. for design of building <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

foundations).<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

A key consideration of the liquefaction vulnerability categorisation <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

undertaken in accordance with the MBIE/MfE Guidelines (2017) is the degree <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

of uncertainty in the assessment. Discussion about the key uncertainties in <\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

this assessment is provided in sections 3.3 and 3.4 of this report.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "To provide BOPRC with a region-wide liquefaction vulnerability assessment to\nidentify areas of land susceptible to liquefaction as required in the Regional \nPolicy Statement (RPS).
