Read the report and recommendations of the Board of Inquiry.

Summary

In 2008 the Minister of Conservation prepared a Proposed New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement under the Resource Management Act 1991 (the Act), a review of the 1994 New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS), and appointed a Board of Inquiry to inquire into and report on it. The members of that Board are Judge Kenderdine, Kathryn Edmonds, Rikirangi Gage and Philip Woollaston. The Minister set terms of reference for the Board.

Volume 1 contains the findings and recommendations of the Board of Inquiry on the Proposed New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2008), including wording for, the recommended NZCPS (2009).

Volume 2 brings together material that informed and contributed to the decision making of the Board on the individual policies. The Board considers these working papers may be of assistance to understanding and facilitating the implementation of the recommended NZCPS (2009) if the recommendations are approved by the Minister of Conservation.

Volume 2 looks at each of the policies in the PNZCPS (2008), either individually or grouped, using the policy number from that document. A working paper on a new policy on active coastal dunes completes Volume 2.
