Workshop Objectives Introductions Obtain an understanding of what is important Obtain support for the approach proposed to engagement, and specifically Phase 1 engagement, with the community and mana whenua Seek initial views on the criteria to be adopted for the SMP risk assessment process Approach  interactive

4 Core Principles The aim of ‘shoreline management planning’ is to establish a sustainable framework for risk management at the coast, that provides resilience and addresses immediate issues in a longer-term context This needs to build from the aspirations It should consider the full extent of its and concerns of communities and area of interest in an integrated manner stakeholders The ‘plan’ should represent the long -term vision SMPs have to be: realistic; far sighted; for the wider study area; ‘adaptive policies’ are encompassing and inclusive; seeking the means of achieving this plan at a local level opportunities alongside identifying constraints over discrete timescales now and in the future

SMP Process (1 of 2) • Baseline data collation and evaluation • Identification of knowledge gaps Scope • Initial engagement [ongoing throughout] • Derivation of hazard predictions for local infrastructure, land-use and private assets • Evaluation of asset management data Hazards • Development of draft coastal management units • Development of a risk profile based upon hazards, uncertainty and Risks land-use

SMP Process (2 of 2) • Development of a range of management options based upon risks and values • Evaluation of options against policy; local priorities; costs and risks Options • Refinement of coastal management units = draft SMP! • Presentation of management options to Council, the community, Plan stakeholders and iwi • Evaluation of feedback and incorporation into the preferred plan • Agreement of the plan outcomes and adoption of the TCDC SMPs!

Lessons Learnt – UK and NZ

Hawkes Bay Coastal Hazard Strategy Developed as a ‘pilot’ to test and refine the MfE Guidance - DAPPs ✓ Established a ‘Joint Committee’ between District Councils, mana whenua groups and regional council. - Community Panels based on cells

Kāpiti Coast District Council ✘ Issue with Council perceived to be ‘rushing’ – coastal hazard LIMs placed on 1800 properties ‘without consultation’ Need for robust, peer reviewed science to inform discussion Coastal rules axed from plan J O E L M AXWE L L L a st u p d a t e d 0 9 : 57 31 / 0 7 / 20 1 4 P a r t s o f K a p i t i ' s d e v e l o p me n t r u l e b o o k w o n ' t b e c o mp l e t e d t i l l 20 20 a s t h e c o u n c i l r e b o o t s i t s t r o u b l e d d i st r i c t p l a n .

Proposed approach to Governance and Engagement

Why engage…and who with? Adapting to coastal change is complex, contested and must ensure long-term resilience

Communications and Engagement Strategy Developed in conjunction with the TCDC Governance and Strategy team – finalised September 2019 Will set out: - approach to both communications AND engagement in detail (see Attachment B) a robust governance framework - Our approach needs to: stand the test of time – create ownership, link with existing - governance and the decision-making cycle, be accessible, relevant & transparent, inform and be informed by community and be inclusive to build and maintain trust
