Whangarei District Council gives notice that it has prepared proposed Plan Change 87 - Coastal Area (PC87) to the Whangarei District Plan (WDP).
PC87 proposes to protect the values of the coastal environment through a new Coastal Area (CA) Resource Area overlay in the WDP. Parts of the CA are also identified as High and Outstanding Natural Character Areas.
PC87 seeks to implement the Northland Regional Policy Statement 2016 (RPS) by mapping the “coastal environment” and High and Outstanding Natural Character Areas. The CA and High and Outstanding Natural Character Areas (together with the Rural Production Environment) replace the Coastal Countryside Environment.
PC87 forms Part 7 of the Rural Plan Changes Section 32 Evaluation Report and should be read in conjuction with the proposed Plan Changes 85, A-D and proposed Plan Changes 86A and B.
