Northern and Southern Assessment Cell Evaluation Panels

The Northern and Southern Assessment Cell Evaluation Panels were formed to complete Stage 3 of the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy 2120.

Formed by community, mana whenua, business and government representatives, the Assessment Panels commenced their work on 31 January 2017. Their task was to consider what we now know about coastal hazards risks, and through a facilitated process develop informed recommendations to the Joint Committee on responses to those risks

Their report presents their evaluation process and recommendations, and is structured into four parts:

Part A: Overview:
Provides background material relevant to the work of the Assessment Panels.

Part B: Assessment Panel Recommendations:
Presents the recommendations of the Assessment Panels.

Part C: Assessment Panel Process:
Details the process the Assessment Panels undertook to develop their recommendations

Part D: Appendices:
Provides links to access supporting reports and Assessment Panel outputs

The report and appendices are available for download from the following links

Community survey March 2022

Thank you to everyone who filled in the HB Coast survey in March.
We had 81 respondents, 49 of who lived within two blocks of the coast.

Key results of the survey showed us:

70% were concerned about coastal hazards, with the biggest concerns around climate change, rising sea levels, erosion, and human intervention
27% had personally or known someone who had experienced loss or damage through coastal hazards
There was a desire to see more action taken, more hard engineering solutions, more engagement with the community, and a greater focus on biodiversity
There was a desire to see less gravel along Westshore, less subdivision, less erosion and damage to homes, and fewer hard engineering solutions
78% supported the proposal for the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council to lead this work into the future, with 6% strongly opposed
The community would like more options for in-person and digital engagement, conversations with a broader range of the community, follow up on feedback and council taking on feedback
