  • Bream Bay Strategic Plan 2006
    Bream Bay Strategic Plan SEPTEMBER 2006 Whangarei Area Office, Department of Conservation, Ph 09 430 2133, PO Box 147, Whangarei, New Zealand www.govt.doc.nz Cover: Bream Bay from the mouth of the Sperm whale, Yvonne Ritchie, 1997 © Copyright April 2006 New Zealand Department of Conservation ISBN This report was prepared for publication by DOC Whangarei Area Office. Publication was approved by Department of Conservation, Northland Conservancy. PREFACE This strategic plan is not a Conservation Management Plan as provided for in s17 of the Conservation Act, 1987. Rather, it is an operational strategy that is the outcome of an extended period of internal debate and consideration over the past 2 years, and of a parallel programme of consultation with the community. At this stage, the document represents the Department of Conservation’s current thinking about the management needs of the land under its administration, stretching for some 10 kilometres along the Bream Bay coast from Marsden Point, in the north, through to Waipu Cove in the south. The presence of the refinery at Marsden Point, together with recent developments associated with the neighbouring deep-water port, the Marsden power station and other significant industries in the area, are putting considerable pressure on land resources. Whangarei City has its own needs as it expands south and the magnificent coastal environment provides its own momentum for coastal subdivision to satisfy the demand for homes along this readily accessible coast. Acknowledging that the management of the land under its care has largely been guided by a draft Management Plan prepared by the Department of Lands and Survey, more than 20 years ago, and noting that this is one of the few remaining stretches of beach in Northland with a substantial area of public land behind it, the Department of Conservation initiated this current exercise to ensure that decisions are well informed.
