Moray Council Launches Consultation On Coastal Change Adaption Plans

Construction News Image
Moray Council has launched a public consultation to allow local coastal communities to inform the new process for adapting to changes to the coastline due to climate change.

Phase two of the Coastal Change Adaptation Plans is now under way, with plans being drawn up to give the local authority a clearer process for managing coastal assets.

Decisions will be based on evidence from coastal monitoring, including: coastal erosion; sea level rise; coastal flooding; existing defences and their condition. These decisions are not fixed and can range from no intervention to maintaining defences and planning for asset relocation.

The Council is holding a series of local events to collate feedback from the community, giving locals the chance to speak with the team leading the development of the Coastal Change Adaptation Plans:

• Mon 15 April 2024, Findochty Village Hall, 3pm-6pm (covering the Findochty to Portknockie plan)

• Tue 16 April 2024, Findhorn Village Centre, 2.30pm-6.30pm (covering the Culbin to Netherton Plan; Kinloss to Hatton; Roseisle to Burghead [South]; Burghead to Cummingston; and Hopeman to Covesea)

Transport to the events can be arranged through the m.connect service.

Any queries from the community should be directed to flooding@moray.gov.uk and include CCAP Community Engagement in the subject.
