    © Lonely Planet Publications 96 lonelyplanet.com 97 AUCKLAND REGION Auckland Region AUCKLAND REGION Paris may be the city of love, but Auckland is the city of many lovers, according to its Maori name, Tamaki Makaurau. In fact, her lovers so desired this beautiful place that they fought over her for centuries. It’s hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city. Its two magnificent harbours frame a narrow isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. From any of its numerous vantage points you’ll be astounded at how close the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean come to kissing and forming a new island. As a result, water’s never far away – whether it’s the ruggedly beautiful west-coast surf beaches or the glistening Hauraki Gulf with its myriad islands. The 135,000 pleasure crafts filling Auckland’s marinas have lent the city its most durable nickname: the ‘City of Sails’. Within an hour’s drive from the high-rise heart of the city are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, deserted beaches, wineries and wildlife reserves. Yet big-city comforts have spread to all corners of the Auckland Region: a decent coffee or chardonnay is usually close at hand. Yet the rest of the country loves to hate it, tut-tutting about its traffic snarls and the supposed self-obsession of the quarter of the country’s population that call it home. With its many riches, Auckland can justifiably respond to its detractors, ‘Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful’. HIGHLIGHTS Going with the flows, exploring Auckland’s fascinating volcanic

    SECTION 32 REPORT REVIEW OF INDIGENOUS VEGETATION CLEARANCE CONTROLS – HAURAKI GULF ISLANDS 1.0 Background 1.1 Introduction In 1999, the Council commissioned Hill Young Cooper Limited to undertake a review of the indigenous vegetation clearance, earthworks, and lot coverage controls applying in the Hauraki Gulf Islands Section of the Council’s District Plan (‘the Plan’). The Plan has been operative since June 1996 and this work was commissioned as part of a progressive review. Hill Young Cooper was asked to focus on whether the practical application of the rules actually achieved the stated outcomes. In its report1, Hill Young Cooper suggested several changes to the existing indigenous vegetation clearance controls. In particular, it recommended to reduce or increase the amount of vegetation clearance permitted for differing land units to ensure the controls were more consistent with stated objectives and policies. The consent thresholds could then be better linked to the adverse environmental effects of indigenous vegetation clearance i.e. erosion, loss of natural habitats and ecology etc. Building on the conclusions of the Hill Young Cooper report, the Council prepared a draft Plan Change in October 2001, however, it did not proceed to the Planning and Regulatory Committee as it did not satisfactorily address the findings of the Auditor General’s report2. The Auditor General’s report found that the indigenous vegetation clearance rules were causing difficulty as they are generally more restrictive than that of previous plans. Therefore, particular sectors of the community, particularly farmers, felt disadvantaged due to the strict permitted clearance controls and the relative cost of obtaining a resource consent.
