But we lack any recognition of the underlying cause of recent problems with our roading infrastructure - climate change. Thames Coromandel (plus Raglan area) has 769 km of local roads and 37 km of arterial roads at risk from climate change hazards. Hauraki/Coromandel is the third most at risk area in the country.
Climate change is not some vague issue we can put off for decades. Our District is being impacted badly now. We know the Coast road is fragile. We need to know which other roads and other Council assets are most at risk and where ratepayer spending should be best directed.

The "gumboot capital", the "kiwifruit capital", the place with the giant L&P bottle... They're only good for one thing, right?
Turns out I was very wrong.

While these are all very worthwhile options, – do they stack up as the most effective measures and top priorities? Actually many don’t.
And who would have guessed that refrigerant management would be No 1 and energy such as solar, wind, nuclear, and geothermal would make up only 5 of the top 20 solutions?
