There are lots of places in NZ where developers, hand in hand with councils, have looked to make a quick buck building on land that is just asking for trouble. I live in Whitby, Porirua, and there are several areas that make me scratch my head, for example look at this location: -41.119094455359864, 174.89690532209352 , look at that creek, and look at the house behind it, now look at the hills around it. If the rain that hit north came even vaguely close that place would become a lake.
