Pre-Application Package
How to run a parallel 9-source data fetch for any New Zealand property.
The Pre-Application Package fetches data from nine parallel sources and consolidates the results into a single data card. It is designed to give planners and developers a complete planning context within 60 seconds.

HAIL Contamination Screening
The Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) screening queries the Auckland Council Selected Land Use Register (SLUR) and the ECan Listed Land Use Register (LLUR) for any known contamination activities within a 200-metre buffer of the subject property.
HAIL Positive Result
A positive HAIL hit does not confirm contamination — it flags that a hazardous activity has historically operated within proximity. A Phase 1 Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) by a suitably qualified environmental professional is required before any earthworks consent can be lodged if the property itself is on the HAIL register.
