As seas continue to rise and tropical storms become more intense this is the future facing many Thames-Coromandel coastal towns like Whitianga, Tairua, Coromandel, Te Puru, Thames, and Whangamata and elsewhere. Meanwhile, TCDC is concentrating on beach erosion. Sure it's a problem, but it is tiny compared to the threat from storm surge and coastal flooding.
If you are a local coastal property owner are you willing to play "real estate roulette"? And why are you not banging on the council's door demanding that it take this issue much more seriously?

What's the highest price per litre of fuel you've paid for recently? Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country, with some Kiwi motorists shelling out more than $3 a litre for fuel!
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern claims that New Zealanders are being "fleeced" at the pump, but petrol companies are pushing back on those claims.
The Government plans to rush through changes to an act, which will allow a watchdog to investigate the margins on fuel. Click here to read more about how your rising fuel taxes will be spent.
So what are your thoughts on the current price of fuel? Can you and your family afford it? Do you think the current prices need to be investigated? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

In the article Peter Kruger, a cyclist himself, said he had no issues with cyclists – but these two were riding side by side with no consideration for motorists.
Currently, the law allows cyclists to ride side-by-side.
But states when the road was narrow or vehicles couldn't pass, cyclists should move to form a single file.
This raises the question. Should it be illegal for two or more cyclists to ride next to one another on the road?
