9 Public Access

9.1 Maintenance and Enhancement of Public Access

Issue: Increasing visitor and residential pressures lead to conflict between the demand for public access to and along the CMA, and the need to protect areas of the coast by restricting access for conservation, safety, security or defence purposes.
 
Objective:  

Principal Reasons for Adopting: This objective recognises Environment Waikato’s responsibilities under s6 of the RMA and the priority to be afforded to unrestricted public access, however it does not preclude the restriction of access in certain circumstances. Policy 9.1.1 defines those circumstances when restrictions on access are considered to be appropriate.
