Shoreline Adaptation Plans

Each Shoreline Adaptation Plan (SAP) includes ongoing consultation with local iwi and several months of local community engagement. This helps us to understand how communities use and value coastal areas.

Each SAP follows a process that involves:

• local iwi review and approval
• community engagement through public presentations and consultations
• strategy development based on research and feedback from local iwi, infrastructure providers, council controlled organisations (CCOs) and community values
• draft and review
• local board endorsement
• final approval by the Governing Body.
