Local mayor Winston Gray said that the council had previously expected to budget millions of dollars on the coastal erosion issue, which has been a major concern for towns along South Island's east coast. "Now with the uplift, certainly it has taken the issue away for a given period of time," he told Radio New Zealand, "How long, we don't know."
