Getting it right for our coasts | Kia tika ai mō te takutai

Waikato Regional Council has been reviewing its Regional Coastal Plan with input from iwi, coastal residents and users, industry and other key stakeholders on the issues and gaps they’ve identified with the current plan.

The feedback focused on important issues like how we balance social, cultural and economic values with environmental requirements, how we can guard against the loss of public access, protect indigenous biodiversity and the historic heritage along our coasts, how we will respond to the impacts of climate change, and manage things like coastal erosion and coastal inundation.

We’ve used this feedback, along with statutory requirements, to help shape a full draft of the coastal plan which we anticipate will be notified for public submission in early 2023.

Thank you for letting us know how we can improve the way we manage the coasts of the Waikato region. The opportunity to provide feedback closed on 29 April 2022.
