The community considering a "managed costal retreat" is divided
A council in Amberley Beach - north of Christchurch - is proposing what could become the country's first planned coastal retreat. The costal adaptation plan gives owners of the towns 109 properties the option to move to a new site further in land. Land the council have already purchased for $3.8 million But as seen at a fiery public meeting last week not all of Amberley Beach's current residents are happy with the plan Jesse talks to Hurunui District Council Mayor Marie Black.
