On both building count and replacement value Thames is the 8th most at risk city or town in the whole of New Zealand. This ranking applies to the lowest lying zone up to 0.5 m above sea level through to the 1.5 m level. Ngatea is ranked 13th most at risk, and Whitianga is ranked 14th.
There is still some time for our towns to face this challenge, but the worst approach would be to pretend that sea level rise is someone else’s problem and fail to face up to and plan for what is coming. Make sure you get along to the Council coastal workshops in October and have your say.

High-End Sea Level Rise Outcomes for the Whitianga Waterways Subdivision Have Been Ignored? So, Is it Safe?

TCDC has given consent to a 72-lot extension of the Whitianga Waterways canal housing project, and relied on a "least drama" IPCC projection for sea level rise of 1.06 m out to 2120. But is this good resource and risk management practice? If the Council had taken account of high-impact but relatively low-probability projections, as has been proposed by the latest 2017 Draft Ministry guidelines , it would have been forced to conclude that both the subdivision itself and much of Whitianga township will be submerged by rising seas. Put another way, has this subdivision managed to secure Council consent courtesy of the National Government’s failure to update the Ministry guidelines in the last 9 years, and its suppression of the Ministry Report before the 2017 election? And more importantly - is the subdivision safe?
