Coastal erosion information on your LIM
Homeowners on the Kāpiti Coast may soon have coastal erosion information included on Land Information Memorandums (LIMs), a prospect which split the community and ended up in the High Court more than a decade ago.
A report commissioned by the Kāpiti Coast District Council to better understand coastal hazards in the face of climate change is adding fuel to the already fiery issue of mapping at-risk areas as part of Takutai Kāpiti, its coastal adaptation programme.
