  • West Coast Visitor Waste Management Strategy
    WEST COAST VISITOR WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AS AMENDED BY 2ND STAKEHOLDER MEETING IN GREYMOUTH ON 4TH OCTOBER 2006 PREPARED FOR : W EST COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT GROUP PREPARED BY : T OURISM RESOURCE CONSULTANTS , IN ASSOCIATION WITH LINCOLN UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This strategy has been developed to manage waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. It has been prepared for several parties: the West Coast Waste Management Working Group, an inter-agency working group consisting of: West Coast Regional Council; Buller District Council; Grey District Council; Westland District Council; Transit New Zealand; Department of Conservation; and the Ministry for Environment. Other parties also have an interest in the project, including Tourism West Coast and the Ministry of Tourism. The strategy has been prepared by Tourism Resource Consultants in association with Lincoln University. It has been prepared following meetings with council staff, Transit New Zealand, Opus and various community, waste management and visitor industry representatives on and off the West Coast. Relevant information on visitor sites and facilities were integrated into a database and ‘Hot-Spots’ (areas under substantial pressure from visitors) were identified. Our goal with this strategy is to: Minimise effects of waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. Our objectives to achieve this, are to: Provide a level of infrastructure and service that is cost-effective, integrated and of the right capacity to cope with present and future growth in the visitor industry; Provide effective information and education so that visitors use waste management facilities; Discourage non-complying activities and enforce financial consequences for visitors who are not using waste management facilities.
