- Summary
- Environment Southland (ES) appointed Boffa Miskell Ltd (BML) in January 2017 to assist with an assessment of the landscape and coast of Stewart Island, referred to as the Stewart Island / Rakiura Landscape/ Coastal Study. This will inform ES about the sensitivities and values, as well as existing modifications found along the Stewart Island coastline, seascape and inland landscapes. BML has previously assisted ES with the preparation of the Southland Coastal Landscape Study (2006). The study has been undertaken as an independent technical assessment. The preparation of the assessment required collaborative work with ES’s technical staff from their coastal team as well as from the Department of Conservation to collate information about the coastal environment, in particular in relation to the marine aspects.
