The Port Tarakohe draft Spatial Plan addresses how the interests of commercial, recreation users and special/environmental values will be managed and served in the future.

The release for public feedback on the Port Tarakohe Draft Spatial Plan for public feedback marks the next stage for this project.

Previous community engagement has created wide interest and feedback from the public, landowners, iwi, recreation, industry and environmental advocates who have an ongoing interest in the creation of a balanced, sustainable, and thriving Port Tarakohe.

Feedback is now being sought on the three objectives of the draft Spatial Plan and the actions that will support their implementation.

The three objectives focus on improving certainty around use, providing for appropriate growth and change and protecting the special spaces, places and environmental values.

Actions supporting the objectives include separating uses, drafting new rules, ensuring safe access, management plans for storm and wastewater, support of cultural and environmental values and community-based biodiversity restoration and enhancement, among others.
