Geography
Loburn is located close to the northern most extreme of the Canterbury Plains. It is bounded to the south and west by the Ashley and Okuku rivers, respectively. To the north it is bounded by the foothills, Mount Grey / Maukatere (933m)[5] and Mt Karetu (972m)[6] and bounded to the east by the Ashley forest.
The Loburn-Ashley fault zone is located from the northern banks of the Ashley River through to about Hodgsons road in the north, it runs parallel to the Ashley river. The Loburn fault, which runs along the south side of Hodgsons Road, is responsible for various terraced abandoned stream channels, wedge structures and scarps, notably Round Hill.[7] The topography in Loburn is generally flat with gently rolling hills, altitude gradually decreases southwards from the foothills.
