- Summary
- These guidelines provide background information and specific methodologies to assist in the sustainable management of surfing resources. The guidelines are aimed at assisting: • authorities charged with implementing policies and plans, • resource users and applicants to manage expectations and responsibilities with respect to resource consent requirements where proposed activities may affect surfing resources. • stakeholders to understand how developments might affect the amenity value of surf breaks and the responsibilities of those proposing the developments. The guidelines are one product of a 3-year-long project funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) (Atkin et al., 2017)1 . While the content has been informed by inputs from consultation with stakeholders, a steering committee and independent reviewers, the final content is that of the authors.
