Wharekawa Coast 2120 – Looking Ahead

Looking Ahead

Ko te pae tata, whakamaua kia tīnā,
Ko te pae tawhiti, whaia kia tata.

A jointly developed and community-led plan – Wharekawa Coast 2120.

Working together with our communities, councils and iwi to look at a range of issues over the next 100 years.
Using technical expertise to help us understand the issues.
Planning how we will respond to natural hazard risks in the future, because recognising what we know about these risks may change 10, 20 and 100 years down the track.
Looking at opportunities for the growth and development of our communities on the Kaiaua Coast.

The setting up work is done therefore we need you!
It was agreed that our council, the regional council and Iwi, will work together on a joint Working Party to oversee the project.
A group of Waikato Regional Council, Waikato District Council, and Hauraki District Council staff to work on the project.
There are consultants with expertise in adaptive planning to help us.
We’ve drafted the project plan and timeline.
We’ve updated work on hazards for the area.

The Community Panel signed off their final Recommendations Report on 19 July 2022.

The Joint Working Party are now working on the councils’ response to the Community Panel’s recommendations.
