Background

We are a Coastal Advisory Panel of iwi partners and community representatives who have been asked to guide our community response to the impacts of sea level rise on our environment, our community and Council Infrastructure. We are nearly at the end of project and are finalising our recommendations for Council’s considerations.

We have drawn on robust, transparent and accessible technical, social and economic evidence, indigenous knowledge, and wider community input to develop our draft recommendations.

Our recommendations will help guide the development of District Plan provisions to manage coastal issues and develop an approach to help the district deal with coastal hazards in the future.

• Visit the Takutai Kāpiti website for more detailed information on the project.
• Find out more about the Coastal advisory panel members.

We've created a series of factsheets to provide further information about:

• The Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) decision-making process that we used
• TheDynamic Adaptive Planning Pathway approach (DAPP)
• The Adaptation Options that are within our draft pathways
• The projected coastal hazards by area within the district

Preferred pathways

Our preferred pathways have been developed based on the unique typography and communities within the district. For that reason, the 38km of the district have been divided up into adaptation areas and then further focused into management units.

This map shows these focus areas - click the map to enlarge:

We've put together these info sheets to make it easier to understand what the CAP is proposing for each of the pathways. including the costs for each. Please refer to the guide on how to read the pathway info sheets.

• Northern Adaptation Area pathways
• Central Adaptation Area pathways
• Raumati Adaptation Area pathways
• Paekākāriki Adaptation Area pathways

Feedback on draft recommendations

We asked for your feedback on how you think our district should respond to coastal hazards from sea-level rise.

We wanted to hear your thoughts on:

• Our draft preferred pathways for coastal adaptation
• Our draft optional thresholds for adaptation planning; and
• Our recommendation for the approach for the future coastal district plan change.

People could provide their feedback at our in-person drop-in sessions, at our libraries and service centres and via our online survey. Our consultation closed at 11.59pm, Thursday 9 May.

CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
