## Consent and planning notes

Low-lying land near the Pahurehure Inlet and Papakura Stream can carry flood overlays, so check GeoMaps early. Newer developments usually have land covenants.

General information only. Check [Auckland Council GeoMaps](https://geomaps.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/) for your property.
