- Summary
- The Gisborne District Council (GDC) is seeking resource consent to replace an existing protection structure and ongoing beach scraping on Wainui Beach, and a retrospective consent for an emergency structure at 21 Wairere Rd. The work is intended to be consistent with the Wainui Beach Erosion Management Strategy (WBEMS) established in 2014. This report addresses the following aspects: 1. Identification of any gaps in information or assessment that may compromise GDC’s ability to fully assess the effects of coastal erosion and the mitigation measures proposed; 2. Review the applicant’s assessment/conclusions regarding coastal processes and whether the conclusions reached in the application are reasonable and reliable; and 3. Comment on the proposed works and mitigation measures including their effectiveness in addressing coastal processes.
