Item Information

snippet: Boffa Miskell (BML) was engaged by Waimakariri District Council (WDC) to define and map the terrestrial component of Waimakariri District’s Coastal Environment, utilising the elements described within Policy 1 of the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS) 2010. The NZCPS 2010, also requires local authorities under Policy 13 to map or otherwise identify (at a minimum) the areas of high natural character within the coastal environment. The NZCPS 2010 Policy 13 also refers to areas of outstanding natural character, necessitating additional evaluation.
