Property information now only a click away
Waipa District Council is leading the way as the only Council in the Waikato to offer user-friendly property information at the click of a button.
Two new tools have been developed to give users a snapshot of specific information related to a property.
The Property Snapshot tool give users access to a range of information linked to a certain property including aerial photos, legal descriptions, rates information as well as related resource and building consents.
The District Plan Snapshot tool shows zones and planning maps as well as Land Information New Zealand data that applies to a certain property.
The tools are easy to use and are essentially a one stop shop' for people wanting to access property data. However, if a LIM report is required, the information generated from the snapshot tools does not replace this.
Council's Senior GIS Officer, Kate Turner said more than 200 people used the tools in the first week they were available.
We've had great feedback from users so far. We've heard from valuers, real estate agents and surveyors who have found the tools very useful when seeking information for their clients.
The tools are easy to use and anyone can search for information themselves, however Council staff are more than willing to help if anyone needs assistance.
Ms Turner said Council will be continually improving the tool to enhance user experience.
