Model is currently implemented, but we need to update Port Chalmers. "Offshore" Inlets need to be modeled as a part of the basin going forward.

Just the lime green areas.

(may not be identical to the implementation in the NZVM)

• Small valleys including Karori, Makara Beach, Johnsonville, Tawa, and Porirua
  
  
  
  

• Include all of the costal river valleys on the East Cape (e.g., Waiapu River, Hicks Bay, Waihau Bay, Motu River)

• Stop at Moto River, working around the East Cape from Gisborne. Haurere Point should be included in Whakatane

• Start with existing USER Whakatane Basin
• Exclude Tauranga and lakes near Rotorua

• Southeast North Island including Masterton and Martinborough
• Consider adding east costal basins (e.g., Uruti Point)

• Long Valley running from the Ngaruroro River to Eketahuna. 
• Include any small basins south of Hastings and along the coast.
• Note: Will be near the Wairarapa and Manawatu-Whanganui / Taranaki basins, but does not physically touch due to rock.
• Physically connects to Northern Hawkes Bay in the Ngaruroro River valley
  
  • Need to check consistency in the bedrock surfaces at the intersection.

• Sedimentary basins surrounding the lakes, could be complex with interaction from extrusive volcanic rocks (basalt, tuff, pumice).
• Exclude Whakatane, Tauranga, and Hauraki Plains

• Large basin, including: Paraparaumu, Kapiti Coast, Palmerston North, Whanganui, New Plymouth
• Sediments and shallow volcanic lahars near Taranaki
• Start with outlining the basin and any outcrops
