Frequently Asked Questions

Will the sea level rise above the island?

The lowest section on the Island is 6.5M above the sea level, and the entire island satisfies the Auckland Councils 100 Year Sea level rise criteria. Other surrounding residential areas are lower than the island.

Does the Island Flood?

During all the heavy rains and cyclones that Auckland has experienced, the Island has not flooded. Being an island, any excess water runs off the island and into the ocean. We also have good drainage across the island.

Are there any problems with Water or Waste Water?

No, the water and waste water are all connected and links into the mains system on the mainland. Titles would not be issued if there were any problems

How big are the sections?

They range from 500m2 to 1423m2. These are good sized sections while being only a 3 minute drive from the Motorway.

Do I have to use one of the preferred builders?

No. The preferred builders know the Island and the level of quality the island deserves. However you can use your own builder of choice.

Can I build anything on the Island?

The Island is part of the Single House Zone within the Auckland Council Unitary plan. This means one dwelling per section (no duplex / no terrace housing). You can build to a maximum 2 storey. There are also land covenants in place to make sure the quality of the home is as expected for the island. All home designs and landscape designs need the Developers approval prior to lodgement with Council. This is to safe-guard all owners on the Island.

Resident society, what does that mean?

As the Island is a private Island, a Resident Society has been formed to manage the assets on the island that is not owned by section owners. These include The gate at the entrance / security system on the Island / maintenance of Roads / reserves etc.. There is a fee of approx. $1,500 inc GST per year for maintaining all these items.
