Cape Coast Community Group

Great job from Roy Boonen and Arlo Armstrong submitting the Southern Cell portion of the focus group consultation on the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy at Hawkes Bay Regional Council meeting today. This is to be considered as part of the 2027 long term plan. A lot of work went into determining the best pathway forward for our Cape coast Community without costing us an arm and a leg. Managed retreat, Hell no. Do nothing. Yea nah. do something for our coastal protection and long term safety? Yep...we're on the case.

ANZAC Sunday - the Cape Coast as a destination. so many people walking, running, cycling, fishing, picnicking...every seat taken including those donated from Clifton Camp by the Cape Coast Community Group and locals along Beach Rd. And that's just from the Cape View Corner perspective.

Well, whew! While some folk think there was a fair bit of over reaction yesterday, particularly regarding mandatory evacuations for those living in high spots, I am very relieved we got off so lightly and I'm grateful for the preparation and support from our local authorities, FENZ and CDEM. Thank you all. Better safe than sorry 🙂
