  • Rapid, Cost-Effective 3D Monitoring of Urban Landslide Displacements Using UAV-Structure from Motion (Sfm) (3714483)
    Final-Reporting-2 Title of research (EQC grant reference number): Rapid, cost-effective 3D monitoring of urban landslide displacements using UAV-Structure from Motion (SfM) (3714483) Principal Investigator/s, Organisation/s: Martin Brook, Jon Tunnicliffe, University of Auckland Research team: University of Auckland students Jesse Merkle, Vivek Vaidya and Kathryn Ryder undertook fieldwork and data modelling; technician Brendan Hall assisted with UAV data acquisition Ross Roberts (Auckland Council) provided conceptual ideas and advice at the start of this project Key words Landslide; structure-from-motion; slope stability; Auckland Summary The undulating topography of the Auckland urban region is susceptible to landslides of varying process-mechanisms, including: (1) earthflows of saturated Pleistocene Tauranga Group sediments, tephra and residual soils flowing off more competent underlying rock; (2) rotational slumping of man-made fill or Tauranga Group sediments; (3) block- slides of weak Miocene Waitemata Group sedimentary rock, dipping out of slope. Such landslides are often triggered by intense short periods, or prolonged periods of rainfall, such as the ‘Tasman Tempest’ and ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie storms of 2017. Typically, rainfall infiltration results in a rise of the groundwater table and an increase of the pore water pressure, causing a reduction in effective normal stress and thereby soil strength, leading to landslides. Such landslide risk is likely to be accentuated in the Auckland region in future given the projected population growth and planned urban and commercial expansion driving the Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP). Indeed, the AUP encourages greater intensification by rezoning many areas to allow construction of low-rise apartments. Therefore, monitoring slope stability in the Auckland region is important, and requires assessment of the extent, rate of displacement, surface topography, and detection of tension cracks developing from slope deformation.

This lies at the heart of what the council does. Every three years, Manukau City Council develops a Long Term Council Community Plan (10-year plan) to help achieve this. It sets out what the council plans to do for the next 10 years. The plan also describes what we intend to do and the cost in detail for the first three years, and outlines the following seven years. You’ll also see the council’s financial strategy, which explains what we intend to spend over the next 10 years and how we’ll pay for what we do. HOW To uSe The Plan The Big Picture shows where Manukau fits internationally, regionally and locally. Our Manukau – The Key Issues is an overview of major highlights in the plan. In the Financial Overview, you will find a broad picture of the financials.

Its land area of over 600 square kilometres dominates the southern part of the Auckland Region. The territorial integrity of the district, stretches from the edge of the Auckland isthmus in the north to the Hunua Ranges in the south. The Manukau City Centre, 25 km south of Auckland Centre, is the natural geographical focus of the city's urban area. When fully developed the urban area will stretch out from the Centre southwards to Manurewa, northeastwards to Otara and Pakuranga and northwest to Mangere. Two-thirds of the City's land area is in rural use, ranging from dairy and town milk supply units to pastoral farming, horticulture and forestry. A distinctive feature of the district is its extensive coastline of 320 km. In the west is the Manukau Harbour, from which the City takes its name. In the east is the Hauraki Gulf and in the north the Tamaki River. Residential development in the urban part of the City has taken full advantage of the coastline.
