- Summary
- Key findings • Assuming that existing seawalls are not replaced in the future or no alternative protection measures are implemented, the Raumati shoreline is projected to be susceptible to coastal erosion over the next 30, 50 and 100 years. • Based on the number of private properties potentially affected, Raumati is considered to be the most vulnerable area to coastal erosion along the Kāpiti Coast. • Due to the higher land elevation, Raumati is less susceptible to coastal flooding except for around the Wharemauku Stream mouth under all RSLR projections, and for lower lying areas around the stormwater network under the higher RSLR scenario (1.25 m RSLR).
