Waitematā locals have a chance to help shape how Auckland Council manages nearby coastlines from the risks of coastal hazards and climate change.
The community can have their say by giving feedback on what they value about their coastline, how they use these coastal areas, what they think should be done to preserve them, and how they have noticed them changing.
“We have some of Auckland’s most important waterfront locations covered in this plan, such as the Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter,” says Waitematā Local Board chair Genevieve Sage.
“I encourage you to look at the draft strategies and take this opportunity to tell us what you think about the future of these coastal areas which are loved and used by so many.”
Shoreline Adaptation Plans (SAPs) are documents that cover the ways that Auckland Council manages its coastal land and assets including reserves, coastal defence structures and public facilities over the next 100 years.
The areas covered by the strategy for Central Auckland span from Westhaven in the west, to Mechanics Bay in the east.
There are 20 SAPs across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland being developed in partnership with mana whenua and guidance from infrastructure providers, technical experts and coastal communities.
The Draft Adaptation Strategy Report for Auckland Central [6.98 MB] consultation is open now until 18 December 2024.
