Public transport is so important to the local economy and social well being of our region. HBRC plays a key role in planning, procuring, funding and promoting public transport. goBay bus services in and around Hastings, Flaxmere, Havelock North, Taradale and Napier are managed by Hawke's Bay Regional Council and operated by GoBus.

Generally covers the operational area of the Port of Napier, but it does not apply any further landward than mean high water springs. Management areas are a means of recognising and providing for areas with different qualities, values and specific needs within Hawke's Bay’s coastal environment. These management areas have specific provisions which apply only within their boundaries. Six management areas have been defined within Hawke's Bay’s coastal environment and are marked on the planning maps.

This layer indicates the extent of major weather event flooding from analysis based on information such as photographs, videos, satellite photos, local council building inspection information and ground contours. The extents have been prepared based on the best information available to the councils and may be subject to change at any time as new information becomes available. The map show extents only, not depth. Any extents plotted which encompass a building footprint does not necessarily indicate that building was flooded. The information contained in the map is limited in accuracy in many places, and cannot be relied on or substituted for a site-specific investigation. The map should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making any decision in relation to potential risk. You are advised to seek your own independent advice from a suitably qualified person as to the potential implications for a property. This data is a collaborative effort by Central Hawke's Bay District Council, Hastings District Council, Hawke's Bay Regional Council, Napier City Council, and Wairoa District Council. Feedback on this map is welcome. If you have additional information that would improve the mapping, please contact engineering.enquires@hbrc.govt.nz.

The approach is based on the National Estuary Monitoring Protocol (Robertson etal.2002) which uses field verified broad scale mapping of habitat zones to provide a systematic classification of different areas in terms of the dominant vegetation and substrate present. The areas mapped along the HBRC coastline include all intertidal areas,a 20m habitat margin above high water and a general picture of the surrounding landuse and habitat types present adjacent to the coast. Overall habitat features reflected the geomorphology of the region with gravel located primarily between TeAwanga and Tangoio Bluff,cliffs were common between Cape Kidnappers and CapeTurnagain on the west coast of Mahia Peninsula and north of Mahanga Beach while sand and dune land were most common around Porangahau,Waimarama, Mohaka and Wairoa.Across the entire coastline intertidal habitat was characterised by 48% firm sand, 35% rock field, 8% gravel field, 7% boulder field and 2% a mixture of cliff cobble field and manmade boulder field. Vegetation was not a dominant cover in intertidal areas. While gravel beaches dominate the coastline around Napier and perhaps give the impression that the entire coastline is like this, firm sand and rock field were by far the most common habitat (83%) across the region. Within the habitat margin the most common features were cliff (35%) followed by duneland (22%), sand (13%), gravel (10%), grassland (9%) and boulder field (8%) .The vast majority of the land adjacent to the HBRC coastline has been modified from its natural state. In particular, very little native forest cover remains with most of the region converted to pastoral farming or to a lesser extent forestry. While extensive dunes still remain in some areas any of these have been significantly modified for example through grazing, forestry, housing, industry, roading, flood control, erosion protection.During the mapping observations were made on environmental pressures that were evident such as the location of industrial areas, manmade constructions etc. and these have been included within the GIS as annotated notes or features. In this report examples are given of how identified pressures and existing knowledge can be used within a risk assessment framework to provide a starting point for helping decide whether further investigation is justified and if so where the priorities may lie.Another important facet of the current project was to look at potential sites for fine scale biological State of the Environment monitoring across the region. Some important components of SOE monitoring are that it should indicate the general health and measure changes in the environment should include representative habitats, collect meaningful data and enable point source monitoring results to be considered in a broader context. While obviously the specific purpose of any monitoring programme would need to be defined before specific sites are proposed, appropriate sites are available across the entire region in sandy substrates and rocky platform areas. Gravel beaches are not considered appropriate for biological SOE monitoring.Overall the primary benefits of the information collected during this work are to1. Help end users better understand the ecological status of the region and the impacts of human activities.2. Assess environmental qualitye.g. the extent of sensitive/rare habitat types.3. Select appropriate monitoring locations.4. Develop effective management strategies.5. Provide a regional and contribute to a national context of disturbance impacts.6. Facilitate the assessment of the significance of potential impacts.
