Impacts would include stress and anxiety due to evacuations, potential injuries or fatalities, damage or destruction of property, infrastructure failure and economic impacts both directly and indirectly. Environmental impacts are also expected to be considerable due to direct wave impacts and saltwater intrusion.

More specifically, projections for the mean annual rainfall in Wellington predict winter rainfall could increase by up to 15%. To date, Wellington has experienced minor flooding events from rain/storm events, mainly in vulnerable suburbs. Such events have seen that the hilly geography of the city has caused some slope failure and resulted in occasional road closures - these have been quickly cleared thus far. However, it is likely the frequency and magnitude of slope failure will increase under future rainfall projections. Of further note, there is a very real and high chance of earthquake-induced slop failure to contend with. So far, Wellington city has not seen major siltation or land subsidence yet but they are likely to increase as the frequency and intensity of rain events increases if this is not first affected by an earthquake.

Buried infrastructure will likely see saltwater intrusion, and some infrastructure already finds itself underwater at high tide. The CBD will be impacted and services will have to be protected or relocated; this is already noticeable as basement infrastructure is expereincing water intrusion at high tide and storm surge levels. Coastal residents will have to be protected or relocated, and we are already seeing implications for insurance on coastal properties. Essentially, Wellington is very vulnerable to sea-level rise and the associated coastal flooding. The CBD is built on reclaimed land and is highly susceptible to liquefaction from sea-level rise or an earthquake event. Furthermore, we have rebuilt the seawall on parts of the southern coast of the city following a severe storm in the last couple of years. We have large residential populations of the city who are in low-lying areas that are already experiencing storm surge flooding. Modelling of sea-level rise in the CBD shows severe implications towards the end of this century but we are aware of these risks and they are becoming increasingly front and centre of council priorities and strategies. A particular concern to the city is the wastewater treatment plant located at sea-level on the exposed southern coastline. As the sea rises, this plant will increasingly be at risk of inundation during storm surges. Furthermore, storms can cause direct physical damage to low-lying wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations from waves and wind and indirect damage through power outages.

This is expected to increase following the increase in frequency and intensity of rain and storm events coupled with sea-level rise. In the long term, coastal residents and those in low-lying suburbs will need to be relocated or protection measures put in place. Wellington's stormwater infrastructure will need to be upgraded to cope with greater volumes of water. Other tools include early warning systems, stronger planning policy to restrict development in at risk areas or to build in extra storage capacity along with public education initiatives - essentially, more resilient design is required. Flash flooding events will also accelerate coastal erosion. To date, Wellington, particularly the greater Wellington region has experienced increasing coastal erosion which has propelled plans for a gradual retreat combined with sand dune nourishment as part of a buffer zone, which will become an approach likely to be adopted by other councils throughout New Zealand when vulnerable areas they manage experience similar impacts.

It is anticipated that the Wellington region will experience longer dry spells and shorter wet spells. This will impact pasture production and crop growth in this region particularly; there will be less water for services coupled with an increasing population; wildfire risk will increase in summer months in regions surrounding Wellington which will ensure greater demand for fire services. Wellington is currently the only city in the region that does not use water meters, as water scarcity has typically not affected Wellington City. However, as precipitation changes are expected to occur across the region, Wellington has been prompted to examine its own water use and reduction opportunities to better manage regional water resources.

This will lead to coastal residents being highly vulnerable particularly in low-lying suburbs as well as infrastructure and utilities set to be affected. Of note, Wellington has a small tidal range which will impact the severity of the storm surges that do occur. In February 2018 the vulnerable suburb of Makara was badly impacted by a storm surge which flooded homes and destroyed properties. This event led to a consultation process between Wellington City Council and the residents of Makara. This engagement process was extensive, and will be difficult to scale up when applied to a larger community - more investigative work needs to be done in this area, in anticipation for adaptation planning conversations with vulnerable communities. In 2019 and early 2020, storm surges on our southern coast have seen numerous instances of road flooding, sea water inundation over property lines, and large-scale road and beach clean-ups required. In general, our early warning system has provided residents with time to prepare their properties for potential risk, but these events are becoming more and more commonplace.

The number of windy days is projected to increase across the region with the southern coast and hilltop suburbs most at risk of being adversely affected. Wellington is likely to experience stronger extreme winds into the future, with a 2-3% increase in the number of windy days expected by 2090. Effects Wellington has historically experienced include roofs being lifted off houses, trees being felled, the toppling of power poles, traffic lines and general damage to homes. This is expected to continue, affecting utilities delivery, emergency services call-outs, and damage to infrastructure. These are considerations for Wellington when it comes to building code requirements, renewable energy generation (capacity of wind turbines and roof-mounted solar panels to deal with extreme gusts), and building envelope design to reduce cold, drafty homes.
