Coromandel is supplied on a spur off a hard tee connection at Kaimarama and does not have its own dedicated 66kV supply circuit.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Local reality and the climate change adaptation dilemma: Beyond technical fixes and ‘business as usual’ Dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Paul Philipp Schneider 2014 I dedicate this dissertation to my daughter Lucia. ii And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. —Genesis 1:28 New Zealand begins with the sea and ends with the sea. Understand this and you begin to comprehend New Zealand and the New Zealander. The thundering surf is our frontier. And our only frontier guards, gulls and migratory birds. With justice, then, the Polynesian voyagers called the land Tiritiri o te Moana – the gift of the sea. —Brian Brake and Maurice Shadbolt, New Zealand: Gift of the Sea iii ABSTRACT Climatic changes are being recorded and experienced and coastal communities are already adversely affected with impacts projected to intensify many times over in coming decades. Adaptation is embryonic at best and needs to take place in the face of already diverse and contested interests presenting coastal communities with a dilemma: Well-intentioned approaches dressed in the rhetoric of adaptation (as legislative and guidance imperatives, and case law) are compounding existing problems by fostering unsustainable and maladaptative development.
