The Wellington Fault passes through the suburb of Thorndon, which was built before people knew that there was a major fault. There are now restrictions on constructing high-rise buildings in the area, and Wellington City Council has plotted the fault on its planning maps so that people buying houses or land are aware of its location. Premier House, the official home of the prime minister, is right beside the fault line.
