Report: TR 2000/04

Author: Jim Dahm

Abstract

The preservation of the natural character of the coastal environment and protection from inappropriate subdivision, use, and development holds very important implications for the Waikato Region. It is a priority for the Council to ensure that the coastline is managed in a sustainable manner that will allow future generations to experience largely natural coastal environments rich in aesthetic and ecological values. However, it is equally important for the Council to ensure that the already modified coastal environments are not further degraded, and that future development will seek to maintain and enhance the natural character present in the Waikato Region.
