Northland Regional Council s new coastal hazard maps show flooding and erosion risks in Mangawhai, including for Alamar Cres where Bruce Rogan lives.
New mapping has painted thousands more Northland properties at risk of future flooding and erosion, raising alarm in communities such as Mangawhai. The Northland Regional Council has updated its coastal hazard maps, showing sites at risk of flooding and erosion in 50 to 100 years’ time, especially if sea levels rapidly rise. Since 2017 when the maps were last drawn, 7500 properties have been added to the coastal flood zone, bring the total number to about 20,000.
