The first attempt
was in 2005. At the time, the hazard lines were deferred in
order to first develop a wider Coastal Strategy which was
finalised in 2006. Although this strategy discusses hazards
management, it does not identify any hazard lines.
The
second attempt was in 2012. This time, Council placed 50 and
100-year hazard lines on 1800 properties on the coast by way
of the Land Information Memorandum (LIM). In addition,
Council introduced the policy of managed retreat,
threatening to withdraw water, stormwater and sewerage
services from the 1800 homes even before their land or
buildings would suffer damage. Moreover, Council were
developing rules and restrictions around the hazard lines

A major step forward in responding to the impacts of climate change and sea level rise has been taken after the KÄpiti Coast District Council agreed with a recommendation to establish a Community Assessment Panel (CAP).
The recommendation was made by a Working Group consisting of representatives from Council’s Tiriti Partners, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Coastal Ratepayers United, North Åtaki Beach Residents Group, Waikanae Estuary Care Group and Council staff.
The CAP will be made up of iwi partners, community and other key stakeholder/ agency representatives and will guide future development of District Plan provisions to manage coastal issues, while also considering approaches for the district to deal with coastal hazards.
