Subject: Official Information request - Long-Term Infrastructure Planning
for Climate Resilience Post-Cyclone Tam

Dear Far North District Council,

In light of the recent impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle and the increasing
frequency of extreme weather events, I am reaching out to understand how
the Council is approaching long-term infrastructure planning to enhance
climate resilience across the district.

I have reviewed the Te Pae Tata - Three Year Long Term Plan and the
Climate Change Roadmap 2020, and I appreciate the initiatives undertaken
so far. However, I have a few specific questions:

:
1. Given the significant damage to roads and stormwater systems during
Cyclone Gabrielle and Cyclone Tam, how is the Council prioritising
infrastructure upgrades to withstand future extreme weather events? Are
there specific projects or timelines outlined for these enhancements?

2. What mechanisms are in place to involve local communities, especially
those in high-risk areas, in the planning and decision-making processes
related to climate adaptation and infrastructure development?

3. With the recent changes to stormwater rating based on land use, how
will this affect funding allocation for stormwater infrastructure
improvements in both urban and rural areas?

4. Considering the vulnerabilities exposed in water infrastructure during
Cyclone Gabrielle and Cyclone Tam, what steps are being taken to ensure
the security and resilience of water supply systems, particularly in
remote communities?

5. How does the Council's planning align with the Te Tai Tokerau Climate
Adaptation Strategy and the National Adaptation Plan? Are there
collaborative efforts with neighboring councils or regional bodies to
address shared climate risks?

Thank you for your time and dedication to the wellbeing of our district.

Yours faithfully,

Steve S
