Frequently Asked Questions
What is property categorisation?
It is a process that categorises the risk to you and your home from extreme weather and it is different to the coloured placards/stickers that have been issued. Property categorisation will apply to you if your property in an area that is identified as a possible risk of flooding in the future or was affected by a landslide. At its heart, property categorisation is all about keeping you and your whānau safe by identifying future risks to property and people when there is a pattern of severe weather.
Why is the property categorisation process taking so long?
We know some people are feeling frustrated with the time it is taking to confirm a category for your home. It is a delicate balance between moving as fast as possible to create certainty for homeowners who desperately need it; and making quality decisions that are the right ones for Auckland in the long-term. Find out more with our recent story on Our Auckland.
Have you completed the landslide and flood registration form?
We contacted affected property owners in June to request they complete the flooding and landslide registration form. If you haven’t already done so, please fill out this form here to be part of the property categorisation process.
