Buller · Buller District Council

Buying in Westport? Check the property first.

Hazard layers, title types and school zones differ from one Westport 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 Westport addresses

  • Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
  • Buller District Council layers: coastal inundation, erosion and instability, tsunami evacuation zones, district plan zoning, designations, other planning 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 Buller District Council remains the complete legal record.

Is Westport in a flood zone?

Buller District Council's mapped hazard layers for this district are limited, so address-level checking plus a LIM matters more here, not less. The property check reads what is available for the exact address and is clear about anything not checked.
