The Whangaparāoa Pilot was the first SAP we developed for the Auckland region.
The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board endorsed this SAP in February 2022, and the Environment and Climate Change Committee approved it in March 2022.
This SAP area includes the coastal parks, reserves and council assets in:
- Red Beach
- Stanmore Bay
- Big Manly
- Army Bay
- Shakespear Park
- Gulf Harbour
- Little Manly
- Arkles Bay/Wade Heads
- Weiti River.
We chose the Whangaparāoa Peninsula for our pilot SAP because it has:
- diverse coastal environments
- a history of coastal hazards
- a mix of Auckland Council-owned land and assets (such as roads, stormwater and wastewater pipelines, and coastal structures like boat ramps and wharves)
- strong, established communities
- cultural significance to several iwi groups.
