Cricket Australia is monitoring the situation in Christchurch following a magnitude 5.7 earthquake but the second trans-Tasman Test is expected to proceed as scheduled.
The earthquake struck the largest city in New Zealand's South Island on Sunday, five years after a quake devastated the region and killed 185 people.
No serious injuries have been reported and early reports suggest the city's infrastructure has mostly held up.
Australia are scheduled to fly into Christchurch on Wednesday, with the second chapter of the two-Test series to start at Hagley Oval on Saturday.
Cricket Australia is consulting with New Zealand Cricket but don't expect the side's plans to be impacted by the quake.
The match will be Brendon McCullum's international swansong, with the Black Caps captain to retire after his 101st Test.
McCullum hails from Dunedin but Christchurch is now his adopted hometown.
The quake caused a cliff to partially collapse and shook the clubhouse at the NZ Women's Open tournament, but did not stop world No.1 Lydia Ko successfully defending her title.
Canterbury also recorded a home seven-wicket win in the national women's cricket domestic final on Sunday.
However, Canterbury United's premiership football match against Auckland City was postponed following the quake.
