As well as a long and diverse coastline, Auckland has the largest population density to coastline ratio in New Zealand. As a result, the city has a high exposure to coastal hazards including coastal instability and erosion. These hazards can present a safety risk, adversely affect property and infrastructure, and damage or destroy cultural and environmental sites. A study undertaken in 2006 is the basis for the current coastal erosion rules within the Auckland Unitary Plan. No more up-to-date information related to the potential exposure of Auckland’s coastline to erosion was available at the time of the plan’s development. To fill this knowledge gap, a programme of research has been undertaken to identify, at a regional level, the Area Susceptible to Coastal Instability and/or Erosion (ASCIE). ASCIE is the area landward of the current coastline that is at risk because of coastal erosion or instability caused by coastal erosion. Titled “Regional Assessment of Areas Susceptible to Coastal Erosion and Instability”, this study was undertaken for Auckland Council by Tonkin + Taylor Ltd., with a peer review by the University of Auckland. The study forecasts the areas of Auckland’s coastline that could be affected by coastal erosion and instability under a range of climate change (sea-level rise) scenarios and timeframes. A non-technical overview of the study is given in Part 1 of this Technical Report while the detailed study as reported by Tonkin + Taylor is presented in Part 2. The intent of this separation is to provide a Council synopsis and interpretation for non-technical readers. To assess the ASCIE, the coastline of Auckland was divided into 568 coastline ‘cells’, where the controlling factors are broadly consistent. The impact of sea level rise was modelled for each cell at 30, 50, and 100+ year timescales, and two climate change scenarios were used. A high emission scenario with little mitigation controls (RCP 8.5M), which matches the current track for global emissions, was used across all three timeframes. To get a full understanding of the worst-case scenario and check the sensitivity of the models, an extreme emissions scenario with no mitigation (RCP 8.5H+) was also modelled at the 100+ year timeframe. The ASCIE has been calculated for each of these combinations, and the results for each cell presented as a distance in metres landward of the current coastline. The ASCIE of cliffs and beaches are controlled by differing processes and were calculated separately using current best practice. The results are presented in tabular format and on a regional ‘heat map’. While the regional ‘heat map’ provides a high-level understanding of the potential erosion rates across Auckland’s coastline, further work needs to be done to refine the model and provide more PREDICTING AUCKLAND’S EXPOSURE TO COASTAL INSTABILITY AND EROSION ii detailed mapping showing areas susceptible to coastal instability and erosion at a sub-regional level. ASCIE was not calculated for reclaimed shorelines as it was assumed that structures reinforcing these shorelines will be maintained, supporting the planning definition in the Auckland Unitary Plan of reclaimed land as permanent.

Follow the estuary past a camping ground, a boat ramp & holiday baches until wooden steps lead up to the Findlay Street walkway. From Findlay Street, head left into Molesworth Drive until reaching Mangawhai Village. Then a right into Moir Street, left into Insley Street and across the estuary then left into Black Swamp Road. Follow this road until reaching Pacific Road which leads you through a forestry block to the beach and the next stage of Te Araroa. Bypass Note: You could obtain a boat ride across the estuary to the Mangawhai Spit to avoid the road walking section. Care of sand-nesting birds is required on this Scientific Wildlife Reserve - please stick to the shoreline. Just 1km south, a stream cuts across the beach and it can go over thigh height, as can other water crossings on this track. Follow the coast southwards for another 2km, then take the 1 track over Te Ārai Point. Once back on the beach, continue south for 12km (fording Poutawa Stream on the way) until you cross the Pākiri River then head inland to reach the end of Pākiri River Road.

  • Hauraki Gulf Islands
    SECTION 32 REPORT REVIEW OF INDIGENOUS VEGETATION CLEARANCE CONTROLS – HAURAKI GULF ISLANDS 1.0 Background 1.1 Introduction In 1999, the Council commissioned Hill Young Cooper Limited to undertake a review of the indigenous vegetation clearance, earthworks, and lot coverage controls applying in the Hauraki Gulf Islands Section of the Council’s District Plan (‘the Plan’). The Plan has been operative since June 1996 and this work was commissioned as part of a progressive review. Hill Young Cooper was asked to focus on whether the practical application of the rules actually achieved the stated outcomes. In its report1, Hill Young Cooper suggested several changes to the existing indigenous vegetation clearance controls. In particular, it recommended to reduce or increase the amount of vegetation clearance permitted for differing land units to ensure the controls were more consistent with stated objectives and policies. The consent thresholds could then be better linked to the adverse environmental effects of indigenous vegetation clearance i.e. erosion, loss of natural habitats and ecology etc. Building on the conclusions of the Hill Young Cooper report, the Council prepared a draft Plan Change in October 2001, however, it did not proceed to the Planning and Regulatory Committee as it did not satisfactorily address the findings of the Auditor General’s report2. The Auditor General’s report found that the indigenous vegetation clearance rules were causing difficulty as they are generally more restrictive than that of previous plans. Therefore, particular sectors of the community, particularly farmers, felt disadvantaged due to the strict permitted clearance controls and the relative cost of obtaining a resource consent.

  • 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.
