3.      These pathways, however, are not currently ‘adaptive’.  They are simply a series of steps over time with no method for responding to real world conditions and the uncertain effects of climate change.

4.      In order for the pathways to be adaptive, tools are needed to drive decision making on when (and under what conditions) the next step in the pathway is implemented, or an alternative approach determined. These tools are known as signals, triggers and adaptation thresholds.

4.1.       Signals are early warnings of change.

4.2.       Triggers are a decision point(s) that have been identified to allow sufficient time to make a decision and take action prior to an adaptation threshold being reached.

4.3.       Adaptation thresholds describe a situation where performance measures are no longer being met or start to fail, resulting in an outcome(s) that the community do not want.

5.      It was a deliberate decision made during the panel process to defer the development of signals, triggers and adaptation thresholds to later in the Strategy development process. This decision was made because:

5.1.       it was determined that pathways could be readily defined without them

5.2.       there was no guidance available at that time on how to develop them, and

5.3.       the collaborative process had already been very time and resource intensive without adding further tasks.

6.      The Signals and Triggers workstream commenced last year and has been working to ‘backfill’ this gap in the Strategy by developing signals, triggers and adaptation thresholds for the recommended pathways.

7.      Usefully, in 2020, guidance was developed by the Deep South National Science Challenge[1] that assists this process. The guidance identifies a series of 13 steps from identifying signals and triggers through to monitoring and review. It recommends starting with defining adaptation thresholds, and then working to identify signals and triggers that will inform decision makers that conditions are changing and guide actions to ensure that adaptation thresholds are not reached.

8.      Figure 1 following is from this guidance material, and provides a summary of how signals, triggers and adaption thresholds work together.

Figure 1: Signals, Triggers and Thresholds. Source: Deep South Challenge.

Development Approach

9.      Work under the Signals and Triggers workstream began in 2021.

10.    The project commenced with reviewing literature and looking for case studies and practice examples. This work has been reported in Supporting Adaptation using Signals, Triggers and Adaptation Thresholds (STATs): a brief review, Coastal Management Collective, May 2021.

11.    Key findings of this work identified that it was important to ensure that signals, triggers and adaptation thresholds are community-driven, that there is alignment with existing monitoring and evaluation activities or that they can be readily integrated into those activities, and a robust, pragmatic and flexible monitoring, evaluation, reporting and learning plan is developed to track progress.

12.    It was also found that there are no published examples of signals triggers and thresholds as envisaged by the 2017 MfE guidance, however the use of trigger points is not new, and examples of their use were found in various national and international settings, including at Wainui Beach in Gisborne.

13.    With this background in place, the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) started with the development of adaptation thresholds for each of the priority units.

14.    This has been a collaborative process, working with community members through the community workshops and with Council asset managers and planners. While somewhat interrupted by COVID, the following process has been followed.

14.1.     In June 2021, a workshop was held with community members to identify potential consequences of coastal hazard events. This was baseline work to understand the kinds of coastal hazards impacts people are concerned about. These were broadly grouped into Human, Natural Environment, Economy and Built Environment categories.

14.2.     In November 2021, a duplicate workshop was then held with Asset Managers across the three Partner Councils so that the consequences identified also factored in Council assets and responsibilities.

14.3.     The coastal hazard consequences identified through these workshops where then assessed and refined to identify those that could be suitable as thresholds. For example, a suitable threshold needed to be monitorable and have a causal link to coastal hazards.

14.4.     We then worked to identify which thresholds were relevant to which priority units. In many cases the thresholds were applicable across all units (e.g. loss of road access) while in other cases there were unit-specific considerations.

14.5.     In February 2022, a second workshop was held with community members to refine these outcomes and to develop ‘threshold measures’.  For example, some thresholds are frequency based, i.e. we need to determine how often and for how long the impacts are experienced before the threshold is reached.

Next Steps

15.    This work will produce draft adaption thresholds for each priority unit. It is currently being written up and refined for testing through the TAG. It will then be shared with community workshop participants for their input and review before being presented to this Joint Committee.

16.    The next critical step is to test the proposed thresholds with the wider community. This will occur alongside, and as part of, consultation on the full Strategy currently planned for early 2023.

17.    The process of developing signals and triggers for each of the thresholds is intended to be more technically driven and will primarily be developed through TAG and with Council staff. For example, if a threshold of “loss of road access” is confirmed, Council staff will need to decide what signals and triggers it can define and monitor, to ensure that sufficient lead time is available to act before road access is lost.

18.    This process is planned to commence once draft thresholds have been confirmed with the Joint Committee.

Decision Making Process

19.    Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision making provisions do not apply.

 

Recommendations

That the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee receives and considers the Signals, triggers and thresholds update staff report.

Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee

8 April 2022

Subject: Memorandum of Transition - Council Decisions

 

Reason for Report

1.      This report presents the outcome of deliberations on the draft Memorandum of Transition (MoT) as recommended by the Joint Committee on 19 November 2021.

Background

2.      Following the Joint Committee and Partner Councils’ consideration of and support for the outcome of the Funding Review led by Raynor Asher QC, the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) has been developing the MoT with support from Simpson Grierson.

3.      The purpose of the MoT is to provide a mechanism for Hastings District Council, Napier City Council and Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (Partner Councils) to confirm the agreed arrangements for implementing the Strategy and the associated transfer of assets recommended by the Funding Review.

4.      The MoT will also provide the means for achieving a proposed amendment to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council’s 2021-2031 Long Term Plan without objection from territorial authorities under s.16 of the Local Government Act.

5.      The draft MoT was considered by the Joint Committee at their meeting on 19 November 2021, and the following resolutions were passed.

That the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee:

1.         Receives and notes the “Memorandum of Transition” staff report.

2.         Endorses the draft Memorandum of Transition.

3.         Recommends that the Hastings District Council, Napier City Council and Hawke’s Bay Regional Council confirm and execute the Memorandum of Transition, following satisfaction of all requirements under the Hawke’s Bay Region’s Triennial Agreement for the Triennium October 2019-2022.

6.      The following sections outline the responses to these recommendations from each Partner Council, and the results of consultation with Wairoa District Council and Central Hawke’s Bay District Council.

Hastings District Council

7.      Hastings District Council (HDC) considered the Joint Committee’s recommendations and the draft MoT at their meeting on 9 December 2021.

8.      Support for the MoT was confirmed, with the following resolutions passed.

Councillor Dixon/Councillor Redstone

8.1        That the Council Meeting receives the report titled Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Memorandum of Transition for Coastal Hazards Service Delivery dated 9 December 2021.

8.2        That the Council endorses the Memorandum of Transition.

8.3        That the Council instructs the Chief Executive to execute the Memorandum of Transition on behalf of the Hastings District Council following satisfaction of consultation requirements under Clause 7 of the Hawke’s Bay Region’s Triennial Agreement for the Triennium October 2019-2022.

8.4        That the Chief Executive be delegated authority to approve changes to the Memorandum of Transition should they be required by the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and Napier City Council in consultation with the Hastings District Council members of the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee.

Napier City Council

9.      Napier City Council (NCC) considered the Joint Committee’s recommendations and the draft MoT at their meeting on 21 December 2021.

10.    Support for the MoT was confirmed, with the following resolutions passed.

Council resolution Dep. Mayor Brosnan / Councillor Price

That Council:

10.1      Receives the report titled “Memorandum of Transition for Coastal Hazards Service Delivery” dated 21 December 2021.

10.2      Endorses the Memorandum of Transition.

10.3      Instructs the Chief Executive to execute the Memorandum of Transition on behalf of Napier City Council following satisfaction of consultation requirements under Clause 7 of the Hawke’s Bay Region’s Triennial Agreement for the Triennium October 2019 – 2022.

10.4      Delegates authority to the Chief Executive to approve changes to the Memorandum of Transition should they be required by the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and Hastings District Council in consultation with the Napier City Council members of the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee.

Hawke’s Bay Regional Council

11.    Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (HBRC) considered the Joint Committee’s recommendations initially in workshop on 8 December 2021.

12.    While it was initially proposed to take the matter for formal consideration at their December 2021 meeting, this was deferred following a request from councillors for further advice and analysis. The MoT carries significant implications for HBRC as an organisation including, for example, the need to increase capacity to deliver works under the Strategy. This additional analysis was important to support informed decision making.

13.    On 23 February 2022, HBRC received this additional advice, which resulted in a request for some minor changes to the MoT in relation to the proposed transfer of assets. This request was subsequently approved by NCC and HDC.

14.    Also on 23 February, the outcome of the internal review that had previously been requested by councillors was presented. This review presented analysis under eight topics associated with the proposal for HBRC to lead Strategy implementation, being:

14.1.     Organisation wide impacts

14.2.     The most effective organisational model for implementation

14.3.     Suitability of policy and regulatory framework

14.4.     Science output requirements

14.5.     Obligations to tāngata whenua

14.6.     Ratepayer equity, including an assessment of the full financial cost to all ratepayers in delivering the strategy

14.7.     The impacts of climate change on the adaptive pathways in light of the most recent projections

14.8.     An assessment of the carbon footprint arising from implementing the strategy.

15.    The Internal Review was accepted by HBRC at their meeting on 23 February.

16.    The revised MoT was subsequently taken to HBRC’s Corporate and Strategic Committee, before being presented to full Council on 30 March 2022.

17.    For reference, the revised MoT is provided as Attachment 1 to this report. The revisions requested by HBRC and approved by NCC and HDC are shown as tracked changes.

18.    Support for the approach outlined in the MoT was confirmed at the 30 March meeting, with the following resolutions passed by majority (1 opposed).

That Hawke’s Bay Regional Council:

18.1      Endorses the Memorandum of Transition as proposed.

18.2      Instructs the Chief Executive to execute the Memorandum of Transition on behalf of the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council following satisfaction of consultation requirements under Clause 7 of the Hawke’s Bay Region’s Triennial Agreement for the Triennium October 2019-2022.

18.3      Delegates to the Chief Executive authority to approve changes to the Memorandum of Transition should they be required by the Hastings District Council and Napier City Council in consultation with the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council members of the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee.

CARRIED

Wairoa District Council

19.    Wairoa District Council (WDC) is not a party to the MoT, but consultation is required under the terms of the Triennial Agreement and LGA s.16.

20.    WDC considered the draft MoT at their meeting on 22 March 2022.

21.    Support for the approach outlined in MoT was confirmed, with the following resolutions passed.

That Council:

21.1      Receives and notes the paper “Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy 2120: Memorandum of Transition”

21.2      Confirms that the Wairoa District Council has no objection to the proposal outlined in the Coastal Hazard’s Memorandum of Transition attached.

21.3      Confirms that the consultation and communication process outlined in Section 7 of the Hawke’s Bay Region’s Triennial Agreement for the Triennium October 2019-2022 has been satisfied with respect to the proposal outlined in the Coastal Hazard’s Memorandum of Transition.

21.4      Agrees that the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council should proceed to implement the formal provisions of s.16 of the Local Government Act to give effect to the proposal outlined in the Coastal Hazard’s Memorandum of Transition.


 

Central Hawke’s Bay District Council

22.    Like WDC, Central Hawke’s Bay District Council (CHBDC) is not a party to the MoT but requires consultation.

23.    CHBDC requested that the matter was workshopped prior to formal consideration, with this workshop taking place on 27 January 2022.

24.    CHBDC is due to formally consider the draft MoT at their meeting on 6 April. A verbal update on the outcome of that meeting will be provided to the Joint Committee meeting.

Next Steps

25.    Following confirmation of the position of CHBDC, the Chief Executives of HBRC, NCC and HDC will be invited to execute to the MoT in accordance with the resolutions passed by each Council.

26.    The Minister of Local Government will be informed of the proposal and the reasons for it, in accordance with the requirements of the s.16(2) of the Local Government Act

27.    HBRC will then notify the proposal under s.16 of the Local Government Act. This is targeted to occur in June 2022.

28.    A consultation document is currently being developed by HBRC for this process, with support from external advisors. The document will need to be audited, with this process booked in to occur through April/May 2022.

Decision Making Process

29.    Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision making provisions do not apply.

 

Recommendation

That the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee receives and notes the Memorandum of Transition – Council decisions staff report.

On track

 

4.       The key focus and priority for the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) remains the Memorandum of Transition (MoT), which if confirmed will enable the commencement of the s.16 process by HBRC (WS1 & WS2).

5.       On 30 March 2022, Hawke’s Bay Regional Council formally confirmed their support for the MoT. This followed an extensive internal review process and debate at the Corporate and Strategic Committee. Given the significance of the decision for HBRC, this level of debate was important.


 

6.       With the MoT now confirmed by all Partner Councils, and Wairoa District Council confirming a supportive position, only Central Hawke’s Bay District Council (CHBDC) remains. The MoT has been workshopped with CHBDC, and they are due to formally consider it at their meeting on 6 April. As a reminder, while the MoT will not directly impact CHBDC, consultation is required under s.16 and the Triennial Agreement. TAG is seeking a confirmation that CHBDC is comfortable and does not oppose the proposal as set out in the MoT.

7.       The above positive progress has allowed an improved rating for Project Timeline and WS1: Funding Governance.

8.       WS5: Managed Retreat has also been given an improved status, as TAG has now received a final draft report from Tonkin + Taylor.  The report will be workshopped with the Joint Committee before a final report is issued.

9.      For reference the MoT includes, as Schedule Two, an indicative project timeline, key elements of which are replicated below.

Subject to HBRC adopting amendments to its Long Term Plan to give effect to the Proposal:

9.1        HBRC shall consult on the proposed Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy as a non-statutory policy document and shall seek to adopt a final Strategy by 31 March 2023.

9.2        The Parties shall prepare and execute the Asset Transfer Agreement by 1 July 2023.

9.3        The Clifton to Tangoio Costal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee shall be disestablished on 30 June 2024.

The Advisory Committee shall be established from 1 July 2024.

9.4        The transfer of assets in accordance with the Asset Transfer Agreement shall occur by 1 July 2024.

9.5        HBRC shall confirm funding arrangement for implementing physical works under the Strategy in its 2024 – 2034 Long Term Plan.

Proposal: Mātauranga Māori Workstream

10.     Following the last Joint Committee meeting, TAG has been discussing the establishment of a new Mātauranga Māori workstream.

11.     While not yet fully scoped, in broad terms the concept is to allocate additional project resources to facilitate more effective input from mana whenua and to seek the integration of Mātauranga Māori into project workstreams.

12.     As a practical example, a critical next step for the Coastal Ecology Workstream is to seek input from mana whenua as part of designing a monitoring plan, so that taonga species and sites of significance in the coastal area inform the monitoring approach. The Mātauranga Māori workstream could support this approach with dedicated project resources.

13.    A workstream scoping meeting has been booked with HBRC staff initially, and it is intended to share and refine a draft workstream scope with the Joint Committee at their next meeting. Any initial feedback from Joint Committee members on what this scope should and should not include, and the process to develop and confirm the scope, is welcome.

Decision Making Process

14.    Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision making provisions do not apply.

Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee

8 April 2022

Subject: Communication and Engagement update

 

Reason for Report

1.      This report provides a brief overview of communications and engagement that has happened since the last Joint Committee meeting in February 2022. It outlines the outcome of the digital engagement with the wider community ahead of formal consultation in May 2022 and other communications activities.

Executive Summary

2.      We had successful digital engagement with the community with 81 survey respondents, which is higher than what we were expecting.

3.      A media release went out last week highlighting the three councils’ agreement for the Regional Council to lead the implementation of the strategy, subject to public consultation. A newsletter has also gone out.

Discussion

4.      Pre-engagement with the community began at the start of March as a digital-first warm up ahead of formal consultation. The focus of the engagement was a survey, brought to the Joint Committee at the last meeting, shared to the community through our mailing database, on council websites and social media pages, and through the community panel members.

5.      The primary purpose of the engagement and survey was to reconnect with the community (it has been some years since any form of targeted engagement has occurred with the wider community), inform them of our work, and gain some high-level feedback to guide future engagement and project development.

6.      The survey closed on 31 March, and high-level results showed the following.

6.1.       70% of respondents live within 10km of the coast.

6.2.       87% were concerned about coastal hazards, with erosion being a key concern.

6.3.       20% of respondents had either personally or known someone who had experienced loss or damage as a result of coastal hazards in the past 5 years.

6.4.       78% of respondents either support or strongly support the Regional Council leading the implementation of the strategy.

7.      Full results are in the process of being compiled. Once compiled and available in a format for presentation, they will be shared with the community members who have been instrumental in assisting with survey design and dissemination and will be presented to the 8 April Joint Committee meeting.

8.      A media release confirming public consultation on the leadership of the Strategy’s implementation went out on 31 March following the Regional Council’s agreement on 30 March 2022.

9.      Communications work continues as we gear up for consultation mid-year.

Next Steps

10.    The key next step is the HBRC-led consultation in the middle of the year.

Decision Making Process

11.    Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision-making provisions do not apply.

 

Recommendation

That the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee receives and notes the Communication and engagement update.
