Lake Taupo erosion study - Stage 4

About this document

The Lake Taupo Erosion Study  forms a key component of the wider review and management planning for a comprehensive Lake Taupo Foreshore Risk Management Strategy. This wider Risk Strategy investigates hazards and risk relating to shoreline erosion, lake shore inundation and fluvial flooding of lake tributaries. The focus of the Erosion Study is to provide background for supporting information to assist in the development of the erosion component of the Risk Strategy.

The Stage 4 report is based on findings from the Stage 3 component, which focused on understanding the key contributing factors to erosion risk and the identification of erosion hazard levels around the lakeshore. The final stage of the study involves identifying whether any assets (properties, pipelines, reserves, ramps and so forth) are at risk, to enable the development of a risk based strategy for managing the erosion hazard around the lakeshore. It sets out options for appropriate physical works and/or land use controls that may be necessary to manage any hazards and issues associated with erosion.
