The Dunedin City Council in New Zealand is seeking community input on how to adapt to flooding and climate change in the low-lying South Dunedin area. Sixteen potential adaptation approaches have been proposed, including managed retreat, ground strengthening, and creating more water storage. The council plans to develop a city-wide climate adaptation plan and has secured government funding until June 2025 for technical work. Councillors emphasized the importance of resilience, economic impact, and mental health considerations in the decision-making process. The consultation process will begin in the new year.
