In the next 100 years, coastal erosion in Canterbury, including at Timaru's Patiti Point and other South Canterbury spots, will put 10,000 buildings, 30,000 people, 300 kilometres of road and 5km of rail at risk, an expert says.

The Patiti Point car park and its access road were closed to traffic in February amid safety concerns, as Cyclone Gita caused large swells along the coast as it crossed New Zealand on February 21. Massey University lecturer in physical geography Dr Alastair Clement's claims follow concerns after Patiti Point was again battered by large swells. A tide gauge at Timaru's port showed the sea level rising an average 1.78 millimetres per year, he said. "That is the product of melting ice."
