Coastal specialist Jim Dahm has developed an operational management plan for Piha Beach from the southern side of Lion Rock to the southern end of Marine Parade South. The plan considered the following:
• coastal processes and shoreline trends
• review of dune management to date
• proposed dune management plan.
This plan was presented to the previous Waitākere Ranges Local Board for adoption at their 9 October 2013 meeting, but the Board requested further time be allowed for the community to provide feedback.
You can view the report (Dune Management at Piha – Review and Proposed Management Plan, Version 2 – October 2013), along with the Waitākere City Council Piha Coastal Management Plan, at the following locations:
• on www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/haveyoursay under “Current consultations”
• Piha Community Library (hard copies available).
We would appreciate it if you could take the time to comment on Jim Dahm's recomendations in this on-line survey.
