Solutions edge closer for Southshore, South New Brighton
Proposed options costing about $12.5 million addressing erosion and flood risk in Southshore and South New Brighton will be considered by the Christchurch City Council on Thursday.
The council is proposing to replace or cover structures along the estuary edge in Southshore to reduce erosion risk. They say this approach has community support, and would also significantly improve the appearance of the estuary edge.
To reduce the risk of flooding in Southshore, council recommend the construction of an 11.4 RL bund close to the current Land Information New Zealand bund.
In South New Brighton, council proposes restoring the estuary edge with a cobble beach.
To reduce the flooding risk, council recommends a new bund be set up to 100 metres from the estuary edge within South New Brighton park, between the jetty near Beatty St and the southern end of the campground in Halsey St.
These options are in response to several council resolutions from August last year regarding earthquake legacy issues.
The proposed options to address erosion and flooding risk are forecast to cost about $12.5 million. The draft 2021-31 long term plan allows for $10.5m.
