- Capital value: $740,000, land $295,000, improvements $445,000 · 644 m² · ref 22501/41300 · roll last edited February 2026

A mass appraisal the council runs every three years to divide the rates bill, not a market price, and not a valuation of this house in particular.

## Floor levels
- **No flooding modelled for this rating unit**, Modelled flood levels: no flooding modelled in a 50-year event; no flooding modelled in a 200-year event · ground about 4.01 m NZVD2016 (3.66 m–4.29 m)

These are modelled floor and flood levels from the council’s freeboard viewer, not a surveyed finished floor or a finding on this house, for anything with money attached, the council’s LIM is the certified property file.

## Enrolment zones this address sits inside

*Zones nest, a point is inside a primary, an intermediate and a secondary zone at once. The written scheme, not the polygon, decides.*

This address is on the council’s Week One calendar, which of the red and yellow bins goes out alternates, and that alternation is not published as data, so the council’s collection calendar is the check.
