Managed retreat = The strategic relocation of communities, assets and activities
THE REASON WHY IS INCONSEQUENTIAL.
It is expected that the CCAA, together with the Natural and Built Environments Act and the Strategic Planning Act, will be passed into law by the end of 2022.
Managed retreat
Managed retreat is the strategic relocation of communities, assets and activities to reduce risk in those areas which are prone to natural hazard risks.
One way that managed retreat is actioned is giving councils the power to withdraw resource consents which have been granted in zones which are at high risk of sea-level rise.
Those who reside in these areas are then relocated to safer territory. The CCAA will better equip local councils to deal with these impacts of climate change, which is crucial, given a large proportion of New Zealand’s major urban centres are located on the coast or on the floodplains of major rivers.
As a result, the CCAA will allow councils and communities to engage in strategic planning for adaptation and allow for positive land use change as previously habitable land becomes too dangerous for people to live or work on.
