Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
315 m
NOOK ROAD, TIMPERLEY ROAD, WHANGAREI HEADS ROAD — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest wetland
147 m
Close enough to check the district plan's wetland rules
Nearest stream
192 m
Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest coast
916 m
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake
1.2 km
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 369 m · nearest rail 14.6 km.
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
