The alpine fault is located in New Zeland. There have been no major earthquakes on the main portion of it. The fault mover 30mm a year!
The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
The Alpine Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault, where the motion is predominantly horizontal and parallel to the fault plane. This fault is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and is considered one of the world's fastest-moving and most hazardous faults.
The San Andreas fault in California is a major transform boundary or fault, as is New Zealand's Alpine fault and North America's Queen Charlotte fault.

Not anymore. Or maybe if you consider the Alpine fault.
Examples of transform boundaries include the San Andreas Fault in California, the Alpine Fault in New Zealand, and the Dead Sea Transform in the Middle East. At these boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, creating strike-slip faults.

There are dozens of active and inactive fault lines in New Zealand. The most prominent of these would be the Great Alpine Fault, which rivens the South Island.
New Zealand lies directly on the Alpine Fault, which runs almost theentire length of the South Island. In the North island, there is another, separate fault line running along the length of the island. The city of Wellington lies on what is called the Wellington Fault.
The three main transform boundaries are the San Andreas Fault in California, the Alpine Fault in New Zealand, and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. These boundaries are characterized by horizontal movement that occurs as tectonic plates slide past each other.
