Climate change assessment highlights at risk areas in the City of Sails
A newly released report by Auckland Council spells out how different areas in the Auckland region will be affected by climate change and how likely they will be to adapt to the changes.
Titled: An assessment of vulnerability to climate change in Auckland, the report was authored by Mario Andres Fernandez and Nancy E. Golubiewski for the Auckland Council’s Research and Evaluation Unit (RIMU).
It is one of eight climate change risk assessment reports looking at the key risks from climate change, including the threats to the vulnerability of people, society and the natural environment. It states:
“Planning for climate change impacts is complex. Auckland will face major challenges brought about by coastal inundation, heat stress, precipitation, wind and humidity changes. In addition, Auckland is the economic hub of New Zealand and its linkages with all economic sectors require that it takes the lead on developing responses to climate change."

Laying the foundations for new communities in the north
With thousands more homes planned for Auckland’s north over the next 10-20 years, the council is developing a plan to support job growth to match the needs of new communities.
The Silverdale West Dairy Flat Industrial Area Structure Plan sets aside sufficient land to provide up to 10,000 jobs from light industry and business development, enabling people to both live and work locally.
The plan is open for public feedback until 28 April and details how the environment can be protected at the same time as commercial development is introduced. It also covers essential transport needs to service the area, including various travel choices, cycleways and walkways and motorway connections.
