MfE Coastal Hazards and Climate Change Guidance Report

MfE Coastal Hazards and Climate Change Guidance Report  

This report sets out the Bay of Plenty Regional Council – Toi Moana (BOPRC) position on future temperature and sea-level rise (SLR) projections for the region.

The purpose of this report is to set out the Bay of Plenty Regional Council – Toi Moana (BOPRC) position on future sea-level rise projections and temperature change (for rainfall generation) for the region.

The report resolves the current differences between the Regional Policy Statement (RPS) and the more recent (2017) national MfE Guidance on coastal hazards and climate change. The stated sea-level rise projections are intended for use in all BOPRC statutory processes and associated engineering and science technical projects.
