WHAT WE WANT

Plausible Science

• Use modelling that accounts for:
  
  • Solid protection barriers, eg. seawalls, rocks and natural barriers
  • Updated IPCC data using likely scenarios
  • Factors for sandy beach, not high energy rocky shoreline
  • Use of wider scientific views/data for balance – eg. Kapiti’s accreting (ie. extending seawards) coastline and rising landmass.

Calm Planning

• Remove Coastal Adaptation Zones which could cause financial, psychological, social and community stress
  
• Mitigate/maintain/adapt/build infrastructure as necessary with the least cost and most benefit solutions, eg. seawalls, to account for plausible risks
  
• Genuine transparent community engagement and feedback
  
• Re-engagement  with the community for the Central and Northern Kapiti areas as they were not properly notified

• PAUSE the CAP process as it appears to be costly, flawed and not based on balanced science
  
• END reliance on the extreme CAA modelling from the Jacobs Report and other data, as it is difficult for the community to have confidence in this process
  
• ESTABLISH a true democratic process that is transparent, uses genuine dialogue and plausible modelling
  
• INCLUSIVE in-person community meetings and feedback (not online)

IN SUMMARY

TAKUTAI KAPITI/CAP HAVE CREATED A SOLUTION
AND LOOKED FOR A PROBLEM
