Hazard layers, title types and school zones differ from one Te Awamutu street to the next, so the useful answer is always address-level. Type the address and see what the records show, before you order a LIM.

What we check for Te Awamutu addresses

Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
Waipa District Council layers: flood layers, overland flow paths, district plan zoning, designations, heritage overlays.
School zones, active faults, sun and aspect, and the area profile from national datasets.

Anything we cannot check for an address is labelled as not checked, never guessed. A LIM from Waipa District Council remains the complete legal record.
