- Summary
- Waikato Regional Council is reviewing its operative Regional Coastal Plan (RCP) which sets out the regulatory framework for the sustainable management of coastal resources and activities within the Coastal Marine Area (CMA). Clause 3 of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) provides for a range of consultation and engagement activities during the preparation of a proposed plan. To help refine the direction of the updated coastal plan ahead of the formal public submission process the council sought targeted feedback from iwi and communities from June to August 2022, including coastal residents and users, statutory bodies, commercial and community interest groups. This latest phase of engagement, known as Phase 3, builds on two previous phases (completed from late 2019 through to June 2021) which sought feedback from iwi, community and a range of stakeholders on key issues within the CMA and high-level policy directions. .
