- District Councils are required to identify and protect areas of significant ecological value on land under their administration. The West Coast Regional Council is preparing a Combined District Plan (Te Tai o Poutini Plan) for the three West Coast Districts - Buller, Grey and Westland. The Council has commissioned Wildland Consultants Ltd to identify potential significant natural areas (SNAs) in the West Coast Region. This report is the first stage of the identification and assessment of all potential SNAs within the three Districts on land outside of the Department of Conservation estate (see Section 2 for further detail).
