Mitigation of Natural Hazards
Gary Whitehead made this Official Information request to Far North District Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Gary Whitehead to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Gary Whitehead
Dear Far North District Council,
Under the current District plan section 12.4
It quotes Under the Act, both the Northland Regional Council and the Far North District Council have responsibilities to avoid or mitigate the effects of natural hazards. Having discussed their respective responsibilities, it has been agreed that the Regional Council will concentrate on risks of regional significance, principally coastalerosion, flooding in major catchments, and drought, whereas the District Council will focus on more localised erosion, flooding, land instability and subsidence threats.
In regards to your responsibilities under the district plan for localised risks, how many affected properties have you assessed and what actions have you taken to mitigate the effects of localised flooding on these affected properties.
Yours faithfully,
Gary Whitehead
