Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay Mini-Shoreline Adaptation Plan (SAP)
The Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay mini-SAP aims to plan for the future of the area's council-owned land and assets in response to the impacts of coastal processes, climate change, erosion and flooding.
About the Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay mini-SAP
Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay is a reserve on the north shore of Waitematā Harbour. The Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay Mini-Shoreline Adaptation Plan (SAP) covers the shoreline of Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay.
As a ‘mini’ SAP, the Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay SAP focuses on a single coastal reserve area within the wider Waitematā Harbour West coastal areas.
Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay was chosen for a mini shoreline adaptation plan because of:
- its value to iwi and local communities
- its exposure to coastal hazards.
This mini-SAP provides options for managing this part of the coast and reserve in the years to come.
To help us develop a plan for this area, we used:
- coastal hazard data
- climate change forecasts
- values from manu whenua
- input from infrastructure providers
- input from the local community.

The strategy for this mini-SAP
The high-level strategies for the Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay mini-SAP were guided by mana whenua principles and wider community engagement.
Once the Waitematā Harbour West SAP is developed, it will include the high-level strategies recommended by the Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay mini-SAP.
These strategies include:
- performing additional studies to understand the effects of both saltwater and freshwater
-
raising local
bunds and upgrading stormwater pipes to reduce car park flooding
- shifting and raising the cricket pitch to the west to preserve recreational spaces and plantings
- installing
non-return valves on stormwater pipes to reduce flooding from high tides (does not include larger flooding).
- investigating options to reduce flooding through the beach access ramp
- investigating the benefit of existing shoreline interventions.
