Porirua City Council running a Coastal Hazard Seminar

Porirua City Council are running a coastal hazard seminar series to provide information about the coastal hazards and provide opportunity for the community to discuss the work in more detail with coastal hazards experts as well as Council staff. They are keen to talk directly with affected residents, and with other members of the community who have an interest. Through robust research and engagement with the community, they hope to ensure that the District Plan assists in building resilience to our coastal hazards.
