Regional Land Elevation Maps: Waikato Published in conjunction with the report Preparing New Zealand for rising seas: Certainty and Uncertainty November 2015 This document contains a number of maps showing areas in New Zealand that are low-lying and close to the coast, with a focus on urban areas. Land elevation in these maps has been measured using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, and is shown above mean high water springs (MHWS-10). Areas that are both low-lying and close to the coast are, in general, most vulnerable to sea level rise. This is certainly the case when it comes to coastal flooding and rising groundwater. Erosion is rather different – a shoreline need not be low-lying to be eroded. The elevation bands shown on the maps are not hazard zones and should not be interpreted as such. Such maps aid in identifying areas at risk as the sea rises. But local characteristics are also vitally important. For instance, a low-lying area close to the coast may be protected by a headland or a natural barrier such as a sand dune. And groundwater will only be a problem if it is connected to the sea. Detailed elevation surveys, using LiDAR technology, have not been carried out for the entire New Zealand coastline. As a result, maps for some urban areas are not available. For further information please see the full report and accompanying NIWA technical report at www.pce.parliament.nz ¯ Kennedy Bay The elevation bands shown on this map are not hazard zones not hazard The elevation bands shown on this map are Coromandel Land Elevation < 50cm 021 4 50–100cm Kilometres 100–150cm Low-lying land in Coromandel and Kennedy Bay. ¯ Matarangi Buffalo Whitianga Beach Cooks Beach The elevation bands shown on this map are not hazard zones not hazard The elevation bands shown on this map are Land Elevation < 50cm 50–100cm 021 4 100–150cm Kilometres Low-lying land in Cooks Beach, Matarangi, and Whitianga. ¯ Land Elevation < 50cm 50–100cm 100–150cm Tairua Pauanui The elevation bands shown on this map are not hazard zones not hazard The elevation bands shown on this map are 021 4 Kilometres Low-lying land in Pauanui and Tairua.

Local Reality and the Climate Change Adaptation Dilema

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.

This draft Coromandel Colville Reserves Management Plan applies to all reserves in the Coromandel Colville area administered by Thames-Coromandel District Council that are covered by the Reserves Act 1977. A management plan for the Coromandel Colville reserves was first prepared in 2005. This is the first review of the original plan.
