The local board raised the following
points and questions in response to the presentation:

Raised questions
on the effect of the influence on urban planning which the team are connecting
internally with the councils policy teams to discuss.
·
Concerns raised
for budget constraints for the board, which Shoreline activation will have
its own budget and forward capital budget.
·
Concern raised for
the classification on certain bay areas being hold the line and limited
intervention within the Takapuna and Milford area, why are they not hold the
line? What’s actually there and wider land use and access ways,
structures of the roads, concerns as the board wanting to have the reserves
kept as they are highly used.
·
Suggested that Simon
Watts should be made aware of the plan, due to the financial impact and early
involvement should be considered.
·
Clarity around the
land owners within the coastline areas, and that there is no statutory ruling
by council only best practice published by the council. Raised concern
that it will be discourage land owners putting fences and suggested a change
to holding the line seems more appropriate.

regarding the 2050 projection. Staff note this is a model based on global
information.
