High-End Sea Level Rise Outcomes for the Whitianga Waterways Subdivision Have Been Ignored? So, Is it Safe?

TCDC has given consent to a 72-lot extension of the Whitianga Waterways canal housing project, and relied on a "least drama" IPCC projection for sea level rise of 1.06 m out to 2120. But is this good resource and risk management practice? If the Council had taken account of high-impact but relatively low-probability projections, as has been proposed by the latest 2017 Draft Ministry guidelines , it would have been forced to conclude that both the subdivision itself and much of Whitianga township will be submerged by rising seas. Put another way, has this subdivision managed to secure Council consent courtesy of the National Government’s failure to update the Ministry guidelines in the last 9 years, and its suppression of the Ministry Report before the 2017 election? And more importantly - is the subdivision safe?
