North Shore residents are being asked to give input on important plans to manage and protect local coastal areas by having their say on the draft Weiti Estuary to Devonport Peninsula Shoreline Adaptation Plan (SAP).
SAPs are documents focusing on how Auckland Council can manage its coastal land and assets including reserves, coastal defence structures and public facilities over the next 100 years.
“Living on the coast as our residents do, and knowing about the impacts of climate change, it’s important to give feedback so that suitable plans can be made to help manage the risk to council land and assets and the changing shorelines,” Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Chair Alexis Poppelbaum says
The draft Weiti Estuary to Devonport Peninsula SAP consultation is open until 26 September.
The area covered includes Stanley Point, Bayswater, Belmont, Hauraki, Takapuna, Milford, Forrest Hill, Crown Hill, Campbells Bay, Mairangi Bay, Murrays Bay, Rothesay Bay, Browns Bay, Waiake, Torbay, Long Bay, Okura, Devonport, Redvale and Silverdale.
