Greetings to you, greetings to us all. Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa. A Introduction | Tīmatanga Kōrero The Proposed Regional Plan for Northland (the Plan) was issued by Northland Regional Council in accordance with the Resource Management Act 1991 (the RMA). It is a combined regional air, land, water and coastal plan, and only contains rules and policies to guide resource consent processes(2). It contains very little optional content such as issues, explanations, methods (other than rules) and assessment criteria. It is important to note that the Plan does not include all matters that are relevant in the consideration of applications for resource consents. It contains policies that translate higher level provisions (for example, provisions in the Regional Policy Statement) with more specificity. It does not include policies that attempt to repeat or paraphrase higher level provisions. This means that the policies in the Plan must be read in conjunction with the Regional Policy Statement and national policy statements.(3) Of relevance to the region and this Plan are the higher-level provisions within national policy statements and the Regional Policy Statement. Under the RMA, this Plan is required to give effect to these higher order documents.2 The Council also undertakes and supports non-regulatory initiatives to maintain and enhance the quality of Northland’s natural environment. These actions complement rules and policies in this Plan. More information about the Plan and the Section 32 Report (which includes a full explanation of the approach taken with the Plan) is available at www.nrc.govt/newregionalplan(4) Note - the regional council has reserved its decision on including provisions in the Plan on regulating genetically modified organisms (GMOs). At the time of notification, there were still active appeals on the proposed GMO provisions in the Regional Policy Statement for Northland. The regional council want the legal and planning context to be clear before proceeding. The regional council will review whether it will proceed with a plan change to include provisions regulating GMOs once the appeals have concluded.

  • Natural Character of the Coastal Environment, Including Protection from Inappropriate Subdivision, Use and Development
    6 COASTAL MANAGEMENT Summary RPS Objectives • The preservation of the natural character of the coastal environment, including protection from inappropriate subdivision, use and development. • Prevention of damage to and loss of traditional fisheries habitats and tangata whenua resources of significance to the tangata whenua. • Maintenance and enhancement of public use, enjoyment of and access to the coastal environment. • The minimisation of the conflicts between uses in the coastal environment and their effects on public health and safety. Pressures • Direct and indirect human-induced modification of natural coastal features, systems and processes. • Cumulative effects of increasing development pressure on coastal-land and coastal marine area. • Inappropriately sited coastal development affecting natural coastal processes. • Conflicting demand for coastal water space. State • Coastal systems have been extensively modified, with extensive loss of coastal forests, saltmarsh and modification of natural dune systems. • Development has occurred on many of the east coast lowlands, with many barrier- spit systems fully developed and the margins of the Whangarei and Bay of Islands harbours well developed. • The west coast is less developed, although there is increasing pressure for development as demand for coastal property increases. • There are currently more than 3800 active permits for coastal structures and moorings, with close to 90% of these situated on Northland’s east coast. • More than 700 subdivisions in Northland’s coastal area were approved by District Councils between 2002 and 2005. These subdivisions include more than 3800 lots.
