N1 - Funding Information:
We thank landowners for access to their properties and for sharing information, as well as our many colleagues who contributed to the field investigations, particularly Tim Mote, Simon Cox and Richard Jongens. Peter Wood of the Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management and the Environment Canterbury GIS team facilitated the acquisition and provision of the lidar data. Monica Cabeza drafted some figures. We are grateful to Ursula Cochran and Zane Bruce for reviews of an early version of this manuscript, and to John Townend, Colin Amos and an anonymous reviewer for useful journal reviews. This study was supported by the Natural Hazards Research Platform, GNS Science, Environment Canterbury and University of Canterbury .

N2 - Rupture of the Greendale Fault during the 4 September 2010, M w7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake produced a zone of ground-surface rupture that severely damaged several houses, buildings and lifelines. Immediately after the earthquake, surface rupture features were mapped in the field and from digital terrain models developed from airborne Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) data. To enable rebuild decisions to be made and for future land use planning, a fault avoidance zone was defined for the Greendale Fault following the Ministry for the Environment guidelines on 'Planning for the Development of Land on or Close to Active Faults'. We present here the most detailed map to date of the fault trace and describe how this was used to define and characterise the fault avoidance zone for land use planning purposes.
