Coastal hazards

Some of the Waikato region's coastal developments are at risk from coastal hazards such as erosion and flooding. Building too close to the shoreline and removing dunes creates potential immediate or long-term coastal hazards for people and property in the area. It can also threaten the natural character of our coastline.
