Summary
In 2020 the Hurunui District Council commenced a project to identify the current coastal hazards that impact Hurunui’s coastal communities and to understand how these hazards will change over the next 100 years. This project is known as “Coastal Conversations.” The project seeks to establish a long-term approach for managing the risk of coastal hazards at Amberley Beach, Leithfield Beach, Motunau Beach, Gore Bay and Conway Flat/Claverley in partnership with the local communities. The long-term approach will follow a dynamic adaptative planning pathway approach based on the process set out in the Ministry for the Environment’s Coastal Hazards and Climate Change Guidance for Local Government.
