Key reports

Two reports were completed as Stage 1 of the strategy - these define the extent of coastal hazards (as mapped in the Hazards Portal), and assess the risks they present to our community.

The draft Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy 2120 was developed with the vision ‘That coastal communities, businesses and critical infrastructure from Tangoio to Clifton are resilient to the effects of coastal hazards’.

The Strategy was developed based on a report from the Northern and Southern Cell Assessment panels, and coastal hazard, risk, and inundation assessments.

The draft strategy also incorporated findings of the panels’ analysis into strategies to manage the northern and southern parts of the coast, an assessment of cultural values, and social impact reports for the Cape Coast, East Clive, and Ahuriri to Whirinaki area.

A decision-making framework has been developed to turn what was learned about hazards risks into a management strategy for each part of the coast.

This report reinforced the challenges that we’ve faced around responsibility, funding, and hazard management.

This report recommends that central government consider a range of avenues as part of a systems approach to addressing these challenges, such as considering the issues and options raised in this report in the Resource Management Act review and developing a protocol for other local authorities around funding.
