Piha Public Meeting - Shoreline Adaption Plan - Sunday 25th August, 12 Noon - Bowler

The DRAFT Shoreline Adaption Plan (SAP) raises serious questions for property owners in Piha.

A Public Meeting to discus these issue will be held at Piha Bowling Club on Sunday, 25th August at 12:00 Noon.

THIS AFFECTS YOU and you should consider attending.

  • Could your property value be affected ?

  • Will this affect LIM’s and and your ability to insure your home ?

  • The Plan ONLY addresses Council assets and does not consider Surf Clubs or other community Assets such as the Gallery, Library, Bowling Club, Post Office, Tennis Club, etc.

  • No consideration is given to roads and bridges that could cut off access to much of Piha.

  • There is no consideration given to land instability created by sea-level rise or a higher risk of flooding.

  • The accuracy of the modelling, on which the SAP has been based is questionable.

  • What is the legal/statutory basis of the plan.

  • Why has there been a lack of consultation with the community and opportunities for understanding of the plan by the community ?

Piha R&R is advocating for a formal “Working Party” approach where Piha representatives meet regularly with Council Officers and the Waitakere Ranges Local Board to discus and monitor the application of the Plan.

Closing date for submissions a has been extended until Friday 30th August.
