Shoreline Adaptation Plans: Waitematā Harbour West and Weiti Estuary to Devonport Peninsula
We are preparing shoreline adaptation plans (SAPs) across the region.
The plans will:
- look at how we can adapt Auckland Council-owned land and assets to respond to coastal hazards and climate change over the next 100 years.
- promote the preservation and restoration of the coastal environment for future generations.
The areas relevant to your local board are:
- Castor Bay
- Milford
- Takapuna
- Belmont
- Vauxhall Bayswater
- Wairau Valley
- Westlake
- Devonport
- Stanley Point
- Bayswater
- Hauraki
- Narrowneck
- Sunnynook

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
