Submission on the Coastal Reserves Management Plan 

Environmental Education Ltd was incorporated In May 2013 to teach courses on 

environmentai science, ethics and policy, with an emphasis on using critical thinking skills 

to understand environmental issues. We are applying for New Zealand Qualifications 

Authority accreditation to teach a unit standard based programme in 2014. 

Part ofthis programme will involve field trips to the coastal reserves in Tauranga, to study 

natural and human made features ofthe natural environment. We therefore have an 

interest in the coastal environment both as something that must be preserved for its own 

sake, and as an educational resource. 

We broadly agree with the aims and objectives of the Plan, but we have some comments 

on specific policy points, as detailed below. 

Objective 1 

Environmental Education Ltd broadly agree with the objectives of protection and 

enhancement of natural dune processes, especially your descriptions ofthe role dunes 

play in protecting the coast. You could add in a paragraph on the importance of dunes in 

protecting against tsunami, given the lessons of the Boxing Day tsunami, in which areas 

with intact dunes suffered less damage than more developed coastal environments. 

I also suggest you acknowledge the contribution that all community groups have made in 

protecting our coastline, and not just single out Coast Care for special attention. I 

attended a talk by Dr Chris Battershill on the Rena disaster and he presented evidence 

showing that long term damage from the pollution was far less extensive than predicted, 

largely because ofthe swift response by the Tauranga community in cleaning up the 

beaches. 

Objective 2 

Clause b, use of Agrichemicals: We agree that exotic weeds on the dunes must be 

controlled in a way that is "safe, effective, and appropriate". We would like a clause to be 

added to the effect that no agrichemicals should be used. Dunes are quite accessible to 

mechanical weed removal, and so there is no reason this should not be removed. The 

Tauranga City Council policy on the use of toxic agrichemicals, which was promulgated 

following community consultation, states that the council should protect the health ofthe 

public, and take a position of "prudent avoidance". This means that no agrichemicals 

should be used, since the safety of all commonly used agrichemicals is questionable. 

Peer reviewed studies has found for example that glyphosate, touted by the manufactures 

as being safe and biodegradable, is in reality neither, but could in fact be an environmental 

oestrogen that can cause harm in extremely tiny concentrations. 

Cost will undoubtedly come up as a reason to continue spraying, but it must be 

emphasised that the public preference was for a policy of "prudent avoidance", NOT 

"prudent avoidance except where we can save money". If the budget is a problem I 

suggest making cuts in other areas. In view of the public outrage surrounding the 

excessively high salaries of Chief Executives of both Christchurch City and Kapiti District 

council, a review of senior executive salaries may be one place to start looking at cost

728 ^ 

cutting. 

Clause d, areas of significance : This clause recognises the importance of biodiversity. 

However other factors also come into recognition of natural character and landscape 

values, as listed in Policy 13 of the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010. 

Outstanding landscapes such as Maoau should therefore also be listed in this section. 

Pilot Bay: We agree that if the dredging by the Port of Tauranga is causing depletion of 

the sand then this needs to be replaced. However, those altering the environment should 

clean up their own mess. The cost of replenishment therefore must be met by the Port of 

Tauranga, and not by rate payers. The cost savings that will result from this policy can be 

used to implement spray free weed control of the dunes discussed above.

1. Do you wish to speak to Council in support of your submission? (tick box) 

Yes LJ (please ensure contact number is included above) No ^ 

We will contact you to confirm the date and arrange a convenient speaking time. Each speaker 

is allocated 10 minutes. 

2. My submission is that: identify what your issue is. Indicate clearly whether you support or oppose the 

specific provisions, or if you want to have them changed. Give your reasons. Please detail the changes that would 

provide a solution to the issue you raise.) . If any of your comments relate to the Coastal Reserves 

Management Plan, they will also be considered as part of the Coastal Reserves Management Plan Preview 

process which opened for public submissions on 20 May 2013.) 

I agree witti Freedom Camping in self-contained campers but the nigtits allocated to Harrisons Cut and Stella Place 

should possibly be reversed as Harrison Cut is a sealed car park that has been recentlv upgraded with drainage . 

line marked extra-long spaces, timber edging and planting and it is located closer to the beach than Stella Place but 

does not have as good a view ofthe beach from vour campervans. I believe Harrisons Cut is hidden from view 

more ttian Stella Place which is elevated therefore less visual impact to surrounding residents. 

Harrisons Cut could benefit from some picnic tables as if people camping then nice to have a big table to use. There 

are no tables at Harrisons Cut but five new tables at Stella Place. 

The present signage at ttiese two reserves is confusing and not consistent in presentation or information. Welldesigned 

signage and location and materials needs to be considered so not clutter up the reserve and provide clear 

and legible information. The present Harrisons Cut sign savs fishing ok. parking ok, boat ramp ok but no 

motorcycles, no horses, no fires, no cars and no camping? Where? On the beach or in the car park? I have an issue 

with cars and motorbikes driving on the beach? Who monitors this? TCC ot Regional Council and signage is not 

clear on this? What is the name ofthe reserve is it Harrisons Cut or is it Harrisons Cut Car park or Harrisons Cut 

Reserve? Clear naming of the reserves needs to relate to the Freedom Camping sites so campers can find them 

and camping in correct place as noted in their booklet thev get yyhen register vehicles? 

I have a concern on how these areas will be monitored as what happens to all the Jucv style campers that manv 

young travellers use as these are not self-contained. Where do thev go for freedom camping? Who is monitoring if a 

campervan has the official certificate. Is it the local residents iob to do this and do thev take photos and who do thev 

contact in the council? Should campervans register at TCC Information centre for example so they get free 

information on all the site available and where the toilet dumping sites are located. t>o ~XCC ffft^ ^-^^ ^\>vV "^xW) 

otherwise how do vou find people who have dumped rubbish and how do you prosecute them? Has anybody been 

fined the $500 for dumping household rubbish that the signs savs? 

Using the dunes as a toilet is not an option as some fishennen are doing that at present and leaving piles of toilet 

paper on top of dunes? Who monitors this? 

What is happening to Harrisons Cut road as it is eroding awav with each flood and the options are to build a maior 

retaining wall or relocate the road through existing hilly vegetated dune? What is the future plan for this road as 

need safe and reliable access if campervans are going to use it. For example is Harrisons Cut safe in a flood with 

people camped at the end ofthe road? 

Stella Place needs a name for the reserve again so people can find it. Does this site require an upgrade to sealed 

surface so reduce amount of people doing burnouts and maior pot holes so that it has to be reworked every six 

months or so? It is a random shape based on the unplanned shape ofa beach access point and nobody has really 

considered the shape of it and how it is used as lots of wasted gravel area that sen/es no purpose except informal 

parking. Could be better planned and more trees and grass area around edges therefore less road to look after? 

The new timber rails are good and picnic tables but access to picnic tables not clear in some cases as no gap in rail 

next to picnic table. Long grass around picnic tables is this because they are not used in winter? The old bollards 

were removed but holes not filled in completely of compacted or sown with grass seed so will be a trip hazard when 

grass has grown over them? Job not complete? Who signed that off? 

One litter bin located right in the view of the beach? Should this be set off to the side? ^.AoL^-g yaa^^ VJ Vt^^^ 

The no campinq sign faces out to sea so onlv read it when leaving? Should be clear what activities are permitted in 

the reserve when you are arriving? 

Who monitors the two nights per calendar month? How is it recorded where people stav and for how long? 

**ln accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, all submissions on this bylaw will be made available to the public through the 

Customer Service Centre and libraries. TCC Ref: 6275441

731 ^ 

1 would like to see more planting of Pohutukawas and Norfolk Pines in these reserves to provide shade for the ,/3 

campers and sites for wildlife. Norfolk Pines are good marker trees that would identify the reserve-fefm a distance. 

. • Dune Care signage could be incorporated into the new signage as opposed to have lots of small siqns around the 

place.

Submissions to Tauranga City Council Draft Coastal Reserve Management Plan 

FROM BAY BOARDRIDERS CLUB INCORPORATED 

1. Bay Boardriders Club Incorporated ("Bay Boardriders") has been an incorporated society for 

10 years but is a successor to a number of previous organisations that looked after the 

collective interests of surfers at Mount Maunganui. 

2. Bay Boardriders has approximately 200 members, including individuals and a large 

contingent of family members. It holds a number of surfing contests each year and provides a 

spring-board for its young members to learn the art of surf competition and to enable them to 

push on to national and international level. In recent years Bay Boardnders has been very 

successful in this regard, turning out a number of surfers who have represented Bay 

Boardriders, the Bay of Plenty and New Zealand locally and internationally. 

3. The coast is the only place Bay Boardriders can carry out its primary activities. Therefore 

while it supports the preservation of the dunes and the natural environment, it wishes this to 

be undertal

activities. Certainly it is accepted that the activities should not adversely affect ecological and 

landscape values. However, the emphasis ofthe wording needs to be amended. 

Page 18 - Objective 4 

9. This should recognize the importance of the coast in general New Zealand culture as well as 

the historic Maon attachment to the sea. New Zealanders of all backgrounds are strongly 

connected to the sea and the activities that occur within it. This is very much the case for Bay 

Boardriders and its members. This should be recognised. 

Page 22 - The IHistory of the IVlount Main Beach 

10. Recognition could be given to surfing activities given that this was the site for the original 

National Championships for a number of years. 

Page 26 - Tay Street Reserve 

11. The history of the Reserve appears to be inadequate to Bay Boardriders. The fact that the 

artificial reef was constructed, but appears to have been unsuccessful, should not necessanly 

be highlighted. The relationship of the Reserve to the sea and the other activities within it are 

now of more importance. 

12. Tay Street is the place where Bay Boardriders holds most of its competitions and where most 

of the national competitions that occur at Mount Maunganui will be held, especially given the 

constraints on the Mount main beach. Bay Boardriders request that recognition be given to 

this so it is not seen just as an informal beach access.

The exotic vegetation on the dunes within lOOm of residential homes, should 

not he sprayed. 

The destruction of the vegetation os a result of spraying, then has to be 

removed with a bobcat, creating far more destruction to the formation of 

the dune, than any exotic plant may do. 

It is a destructive and wasted and expensive exercise to spray, as plants 

reseed themselves from neighbouring gardens annually. 

The Exotic vegetation has stood the test of time, over many decades, and 

have proved to hold the dunes together very well. 

However extra planting of Pingnou on the lower dune is great, with removal 

of exotic species in this lower section of dune, to be by hand, not spraying. 

The spaying process damages a lot of the native vegetation as well as the 

exotics. 

However if spraying becomes mandatory adjoining Oceanbeach Rd 

properties, each neighbouring resident should be personally consulted with 

regard to whether sprays be used, so close to their homes.

provide a solution to the issue you raise.) . If any of your comments relate to freedom camping, they will also 

be considered as part ofthe Draft Freedom Camping Bylaw which opens for public submissions on 17 June 

2013.) 

Objective 1: 

Manaqement Statement 

a. Private encroachments statement verv qeneral as should state the process and strateqv involved and how 

successful the process is working and what is the area of encroachment within all the coastal reserves and how 

much Is reclaimed back to public ownership each vear. How big is this issue and is it beinq addressed sufficientlv. 

Are these areas that are being replanted maintained effectivelv or full of weeds ie does TCC have the staff to 

manaqe this maintenance or is only a small area reclaimed each vear? 

c. What does this statement mean as very general. What is the definition of native dune vegetation and which areas 

are being restored. What are the species as nothing mentioned about this? The dunes need to be mapped as many 

different areas with a range of native vegetation and weeds due to past development, grazing, vehicles and 

encroachment. Start with a good plan before developing a strategy of which areas to address weed removal and 

replanting. Not iust a blanket approach of weed spraying everything and replanting a non-natural system. These 

areas will be higti maintenance with weed control, mulching and should be part ofthe overall strategy for the whole 

dune system and prioritise areas to address based on the best use ofthe resources. Sand binding is important and 

weeds needs to be graded as not all weeds are bad as introduced grasses are all through many parts of the dunes 

growing alongside the native species but are not a major threat to dunes compared to other weeds species so just 

because it is a weed it does not need to be removed as remove the threatening weeds first such as boxthom.moth 

plant, blackberry and ice plant for example. 

e. We have an issue In our area of Harrison's Cut with vehicles driving on the beach to launch their kontikis and 

general vetiicles driving along the beach for the ioy of it. I believe more information on the Beaches Bylaw 20Q7 

should be represented at ttie boat ramp. The Bylaw says vehicles are only permitted 100m either side of a boat 

ramp while launching. Could marker poles or signs be located 100m either side ofthe ramp to cleady show that no 

vehicles are permitted beyond these markers. Also a phone number to call to report a vehicle outside this area and 

will anything be done in regard to following up on the vehicle. Quad bikes are also all along the beach and vet the 

sign says no guad bikes permitted on beach. Present signs are not working? Is it the iob of the local residents to 

confront these cars or Is It the Council or Regional Council? Who in the council looks after phone calls about 

vehicles on the beach when reported bv a resident and what action is taken? 

f. Beach access ways will be well defined and maintained but the one at Papamoa Domain carpark is washing away 

and Papamoa Domain is an important reserve with high use? Whose role is it to check the state of these access 

ways? About 2008 a new timber rail was installed at Harrison's Cut which lasted about one year and it was 

destroved and smashed by people wanting some fire wood for a fire on the beach. Sharp splinters of posts were all 

that was left. And they are still there today so which part of that was well maintained? All the constructed access 

ways need to be mapped along the complete dune system so then have a data base for repair, replace and anv new 

sand ladders for example and monitor it each vear. Again a physical mapped plan is needed to best manage all the 

beach access points. Are their different levels of access ways such as sand track, timber sand ladder, timber deck, 

bollards and rope or just timber rails for example. Details of these should be noted and plotted on overall plan of 

access points for future planning and to prioritize where the resources should be best spent. G. comment should be 

part of f. as to do with access ways? 

h. The overall plan ofthe beach access ways suggested above would cleariy demonstrate where improvements are 

needed and where any disabled access is best located. Is the disabled access to allow people to experience the 

beach closer such as timber ramp and timber platform iust above beach level? As normal wheelchairs will not travel 

on the soft sand unless four wheel drive wheel chair. 

i. Informal beach accesses are onlv permitted with Council approval. How do you get council approval and Is there a 

record and plan of all the informal beach accesses that is updated each year. What is the definition of a formal 

beach access and are these mapped on a plan? Residents iust make their own accessways bv walking through the 

dunes and how do you stop this? 


Customer Service Centre and libraries TCC Ref: 6275441

763 -J I 

n. Visitors to the beach should be promoted to take their rubbish awav with them. Temporary large simple design ^^^ 

bins (well painted 44 gallon drums) could be used over summer months when lots of people at beach. Empty 

existing bins more often. More bins more rubbish? Cars parking late at night and dumping fast food rubbish from car 

doors is a common practice. How do you address this? Signs that sav certain reserves are monitored. On that note 

how come McDonalds etc have so much rubbish on the roads. Council should discuss with fast food outlets and get 

them to clean up their own litter and take it all back to fast food store. Sick of havinq litter dumped along Papamoa 

Beach Rd. What happened to the be a tidy Kiwi? 

Actions 

1 .This action Is the same as the manaqement statement. Does not give any new or meaningful information. The 

actions should be about how ttiis is going to be achieved and how successful it is and what amount if recovered 

back to reserves each year and how successful is the maintenance? How much is allocated to this ie how big an 

issue is it for council or is it iust nice words? Is there a plan showing all the areas of encroachment and maps the 

areas returned to reserves. This Is where a photo demonstrating a dune replanted area that was once private lawn? 

The photos in the whole document do not really tell a story. Could do with more photos that cleariy demonstrate the 

issues identified and how they are being addressed. Photos could also have a note where thev are and what they 

are showing. Papamoa Domain section has a photo taken from Stella Place? What is this showing? 

3.Bollards were installed near a beach access in the Pony Club and this stopped vehicles from driving to the beach 

and sometimes sleeping over. But it still allows 4 wheel bikes to get through but bollards a good start. Signage at 

these vehicle entry points that no guad bikes allowed and that thev will be prosecuted for driving more than 100m 

beyond the boat ramp. 

4.How does a person know if their beach access has council approval and do they really care. As if access closed 

then they will make a new one 1 m to the side? Where is this approval recorded and how easy is to find if your 

access has approval as it could be historic from manv years ago? How does the council propose to close any 

informal beach access that does not have approval. Is it with security guards or barricades or signage. Like did 

people stop using the tracks on the Mount when they were closed? Is this a realistic action? And how many 

resources does the council give this issue? It might be 50% of the existing tracks through the dunes? Have they 

closed anv to date? Where are thev recorded and mapped on plan? 

6.Are all the existing sand ladders mapped and what state are they in. What does the City Plan have to do with sand 

ladders? Are there certain areas that sand ladders are prohibited? Sand ladders are a successful way to reduce 

erosion and should be used at more ofthe formal access points. 

Obiective 2 

Norfolk pines have been noted as beinq valued for their contribution to the landscape value of the reserves. I totally 

agree with this point and want to reguest further planting of Norfolk pines in the coastal reserve as we are losing 

manv mature Norfolk pines since the tree protection was removed. Originally there were approx. 1800 trees 

protected on private land and now we have 339 trees protected which is a reduction of approx. 81 %. There are 24 

protected Norfolk pines in the Citv Plan with only one on coastal strip protected 248 Ocean Beach Road. So all the 

other mature Norfolk Pines are at risk of being cut down. I believe Norfolk Pines are wonderful marker trees that 

provide orientation of distance and are used by both surfers and fisherman for lining up fishing spots or take off 

points on surf breaks. I have recentlv witnessed three mature Norfolk Pines along the coastal strip cut down and I 

believe this is going to continue as houses change hands or sections are subdivided. The landscape amenity of the 

harbour and coastal strip needs to be protected as stated in a Council assessment that showed our citv is valued for 

its mature trees especially when viewed from the harbour. I believe this visual amenity of mature trees is at risk as 

more of the once protected trees are cut down. 

I believe the whole coastal strip needs to be mapped and all mature trees plotted and then additional tree planting of 

Pohutukawa, Banksia and Norfolk pines designed for the best locations such as at formal access points along beach 

and freguently spaced to provide a strong presence of trees to provide habitat for birds, shade and visual pleasure 

for users ofthe beach. 

Management Statements 

a. This statement about weed removal is very general as how much is actually being done and it would be better to 

map the dune system to clearly identify different vegetation/weed areas and all the weeds identified then plan a 

strategy for which are the worst weeds ie most invasive or with most potential to harm the dunes and create a 

prioritv for weed species removal. How much resource is available for weed control and where best to spend it for 

greatest effect. In our area of dunes the worst weeds are the ice plant as it creeps and smothers all other plants. 

The moth plant as it disperses lots of seed which seem to germinate and grow successfully. Therefore this plant 

needs to be removed before seeding. Boxthom is present but does not really spread rapidly. Blackberry invades 

guickly as hard to control as gets established so should remove eariy when young. 

The dunes were natural once but now they are highly modified with different levels of modification on various parts 

of coastal strip. Some dunes were flattened for subdivision and other areas grazed (there are still fence posts in the 

dunes as grazed less than 20 years ago) so lots of grasses introduced. Ecologists or botanists need to survey the 

dunes and map all the species so that there is a clear plan on how to protect and improve the dune system for future 

generations. Not lust remove everv weed that is identified to be on the BoP weed list? 

*ln accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, all submissions on this bylaw will be made available to the public through the 


770 

d. Following areas have significant diversity. Where is the plan that clearly shows these areas as describing them 

only goes part of the wav for people to understand where thev are exactly in the coastal strip? What is Papamoa 

Reserves 1 and 2. There is one map at front of document but it does not show much and hard to read and even 

work out roads as text so small? What is the point? A clearer map or series of maps are reguired that cleariy show 

what is existing and planned for the coastal strip? 

:2\ 

f I noted that some ofthe Norfolk pines on Maine Parade are lifting the kerbs and that some Pohutukawas have 

been planted close by. Does this statement mean that these Norfolk Pines are going to be chopped because thev 

are lifting the kerb and causing a bit of surface ponding in channel? If this is the case I think more consideration be 

given to a better solution to the water issue. These Norfolk Pines along this grass strip are verv important to the 

visual amenity of The Mounf. Options could be to remove 1 or 2 car parks and have a rain garden that allows the 

water to seep into sand so actually reducing the point source discharge of the storm water which is mentioned 

eariier in document as being encouraged. Another option is to add a bubble up sump before and after the tree. Also 

if these trees are being chopped why are thev not being replaced with Norfolks? I think chopping them down is the 

weakest but easiest solution so where are the creative thinking storm water Engineers? Also some of these Norfolks 

are different species such as Araucaria columnaris (Cook Pine) so should be actively retained and protected. There 

are a number of these planted along Marine Parade and they should be protected. 

q. Another qeneral statement. I think exotics are an important addition to coastal strip . Species such as Norfolk as 

marker trees and Banksia as trees to attract Tuis. Basically the only native tree planted is Pohutukawa. Other 

natives that do well in dunes are Karo (Pittosporum crassifolium), Pseudopanax species. Coprosma repens, Ngaio 

for example. So again the whole dune system needs to be plotted and planned and designed and tree planting 

shown at the best locations. Not just ad hoc lets plant some trees now as manv do not survive. Why not sav that 

exotic trees will be planted anywhere is the reserves and the planning will cleariy identify the best locations for 

additional tree planting. A full tree survey ofthe coastal reserves is needed and tree planting designed based on 

this. 

k. The development of anv new buildings on the coastal reserves will have to go through a rigorous consent and 

planning process and public consultation before they are approved so why bother listing ten points here when we all 

know that any development eg toilet, boat ramp in the coastal reserve is sensitive? 

Actions 

1 This is a weak statement as meant to be an action of how you are going to achieve the effective weed removal in 

the dunes. Why bother saving this as already said it in the Management Statement? What is the strategy for 

removing pest plants in the dunes? 

2. Exactly the same wording as the management statement but Bay of Plenty Regional Coastal Environment Plan 

added so which is it and why are they the same? What is the ACTION??? How are vou going to manage it? Are you 

going to draw up a strategy plan? Are you going to meet with all the effected parties? 

3. Again same as management statement but Bay of Plenty Regional Coastal Environment Plan added. Why is this? 

Again no ACTION identified except general note. What is managed accordingly mean? 

There are eleven management statements but only five actions? Are thev related as seems to be a double up of 

information and which is stronger? No meaningful actions with an actual plan of how to achieve something. Lots of 

nice words. No plans. No pictures. No strategies? What is the purpose of the Management Plan? Is it to manage or 

talk of manage? 

Obiective 3 

Management Strategies 

d. Any new long term commercial activity are not considered appropriate. This contradicts c. and what about some 

examples of long term commercial activities or does this mean all the existing commercial activities are short term? 

And they are considered appropriate? 

o. A plan was drawn about 10 vears ago for the Council that identified locations for a possible boardwalk extension 

from Marine Parade to Tav St. This plan should be recovered and redrawn with the latest boardwalks added and 

used as a planning tool for public feedback as a good pedestrian access is reguired on the coast side of Marine 

Parade as informal track already exists. 

g. Memorial seats are fine as long as standard park furniture well-constructed on a concrete surround depending on 

location. Maybe memorial trees could be considered as way to purchase Pb 95 trees with simple plague at base in 

mulch circle or on too of short 200mm dia. Bollard in the mulch circle. 

Specific Parks section 

Papamoa Doamian 

A short history on the Domain and that Maior Bennett planted the distinctive pines trees in 1900 but no talk about 

what is replacement strategy when a trees falls in the wind and the Arborist says they are a danger. One day they 

could easily all be cut down and significant trees that are a special feature ofthe Domain are gone. I saw one small 

pine planted. Is there a replacement policy or just wait until all gone? Features of the reserve are described twice, 

once in a sentence and then as bullet points? straight after one another. Describing in words one of the most 

important reserves in the middle of Papamoa does not do it iustice. Where is the plan showing all the existing 

facilities and another plan showing the proposed upgrades based on the Coastal Management Plan or are nice 

words good enough? 



771 ^\ 

Issues 

The first issue notes that the Domain has a lack of cohesion and does not reflect the significant natural character of 

the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a basic eclectic collection of shops in one big carpark with no 

planting, an empty section on corner that Is overgrown with old taqqed buildings and erosion and chopped down 

trees. Next to the Domain is the camping ground so not sure what is meant here by surrounding area? Does not 

look significant to me? Entering the Domain vou view the uglv back of a restaurant and then head towards the 

camping ground then directed towards toilet? A strange road alignment. 

The second issue talks of pedestrian access. Why they never had an access point or path for camp ground users is 

pretty basic. A crossing point has recently been installed . No clear direction on how to get to beach as blocked bv 

restaurant? There are two flights of steps down the hill right next to each other, one old and one new? Which one do 

we use? 

Issue three is that Surf Club needs to be redeveloped. That is fine but do you need a whole page of words talking 

about the future building when it will go through a rigorous consent process. Why talk about these points here? The 

surf club is a major asset to the Domain and it needs to be developed which will save more lives as better 

eguipment, observation points etc. This is the onlv patrolled beach in Papamoa and it pumps in summer so design 

needs to reflect this high summer use. 

Car parking and road layout is another important issue and again where is the PLAN that starts to address this? Just 

more words? 

What about signage strategy?, standardised furniture, litter bins in front of car parks next to beach (nice view), 

erosion issues, storm water issues, worn out grass, beach access points. Freedom camping no mention ofthis? 

Opportunities 

Pedestrian access pretty obvious, nothing about improving parking layout, tree planting, signage, showers, seating? 

The natural character and landscape values could be enhanced? What actually does this mean????That could be 

said about any site but the trick is how do you do it or do vou iust say that vou will do it but not actually say how or 

show how with a PLAN? 

Management Statements 

a. Really says nothing and contradicts itself as previouslv said Domain is highly modified site so how does it 

enhance the natural character of the coastline and if so how will you do this? 

b. The boat ramp has minimal parking facilities and signage. Better parking trailer parking needs to be provided and 

signage to cleariy say what are the rules of cars on the beach. The Bylaw should be stated on the sign and that vou 

will be prosecuted if go more that 100mm past the boat ramp. Also phone number to call to report cars or guads on 

the beach. 

e. Visual and physical integration of facilities should be promoted. What does this actually mean??? And how do you 

do this??? Show me on a PLAN. 

Actions 

1 .At last the talk of a PLAN. But where is it? It should be in this document as that what a management plan is for 

is????? This document should be called Coastal Reserves Management Words???? As I do not see any plans? It 

says there is an existing planting plan. Well where is It? As this is the first mention of any sort of tree planting and 

would not tree planting and coastal planting and wetland planting be considered important in the natural character of 

the coastline? 

2. Formalise the boat ramp carpark? What does that mean? Show it on a PLAN? 

3. Implement existing planting plan ?ls not that pretty obvious? How old is this planting plan and how did it and who 

checked it? It might be agapanthus in rows with Cherry trees lining the roadway? Where is the PLAN? 

4. Goes on about the redevelopment of the surf club. That is fine iust do it? 

Well that is pretty much it for the Domain? We are sorted then? The picture of Stella Place on the actions page is a 

nice addition considering it has nothing to do with the Domain. Where are the pictures ofthe Domain showing the 

issues highlighted or thev were not considered important enough to get a look in. 

The Domain also has weed issues with ice plant on the bank bv the camp ground, worn out grass along road edge 

so needs better placement of bollards, no clear picnic areas or seating, storm water retention areas that should be 

fully planted in wetland coastal species. Preferable to use species that are existing in the dunes as identified by the 

plant survey completed? 

The ACTION TABLE for the Domain 

1. Prepare a comprehensive Plan that considers all the issues raised. Priority LOW. You have got to be ioking? 

What was the point of even writing anything about the Domain?????? As nothing is going to happen???? 

2.Formalise boat ramp parking. Priority MEDIUM. But how do you do this without a PLAN? I thought pedestrian 

access was highlighted as a biq issue? But this prioritv is LOW. 

3.Implement existing planting plan. Priority MEDIUM. But where is it and this has greater priority that pedestrian 

access, vehicle access, car parking congestion and development of the surf club? 

4.Work to develop surf club. Priority HIGH. So this is seen as the most important thing to achieve in Domain 

development. This is good for the safetv of the beach users but what about the other facilities like access, furniture. 

"In accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, all submissions on this bylaw will be made available to the public through the 

Customer Sen/ice Centre and libraries. TCC Ref: 6275441

772 O V 

picnic areas, weed control, enhance the natural character ofthe Domain??? All these are LOW therefore not 

happen? 

''^— 

SUMMARY 

This document makes lots of promises with nice words (and minimal unrelated photos) like remove all weeds in 

dunes, improve all the pedestrian beach access points, fix all private encroachments, remove all those informal 

beach accesses with no Council approval, remove vehicles from beach, plant lots of trees but in reality not much will 

happen and it will pretty much stay the same as no money is available to do any of these actions to the degree they 

have stated in the document. Also more mature Norfolk pines will be cut down as thev are damaging the road? So 

we will actually end up with less and this is a 10 year document so need to wait for another 10 years for something 

to happen. 

The ACTION TABLE forthe Three Objectives says the majority ofthe issues raised will be ongoing within existing 

operational budgets so basically same as now with minimal things happening? The Status Quo? 

Basically no extra money budgeted for until the extension ofthe boardwalk which has $1.7 Million Awesome Opps 

that is outside the 2012 - 2022 Ten Year Plan so priority LOWER and LOWER. 

But wait we are going to install wildlife signs OH that will be funded by DOC. Did thev iust have big budget cuts??? 

But it gets better we are going to install signs for the freedom camping areas and these will be $150 to $300 per sign 

Whoopee finally something happening???NOT. You will not get much of a sign for $150. A pole and a small blade 

but freedom camping needs more information so fewer larger signs are better that lots of little signs. 

I have not commented on the other Specific Parks Section but general observation is that thev should each have a 

PLAN that shows existing layout and another PLAN showing proposed development so this is the Master Plan and 

people can cleariy see what is proposed for future developments and making it easier to both understand and make 

comment. I feel I am commenting on words alone and not really sure what the PLAN is. As Woody Allen said 'Do 

you know the PLAN?

CONTINUED USE OF LAND LOCATED NORTH OF PAPAMOA DOMAIN BY THE PAPAMOA/ 

MOUNT MAUNGANUI PONY CLUB 

My submission is in support of the continued use of the land located north of Papamoa Domain by 

the Papamoa/Mount Maunganui Pony Club (PMTPC), as identified by item k, page 19 of the draft 

management plan, allowing for the following. 

I submit that the wording be changed from " ... permitted to continue on an annual License to Occupy 

basis only. No additional buildings or permanent Infrastructure Is permitted to be developed on the site" 

to "is permitted to continue on an annual License to Occupy basis. No additional buildings are 

permitted to be developed on the site" or "is permitted to continue on an annual License to Occupy 

basis. No additional buildings are permitted to be developed on the site. No permanent 

infrastructure is permitted to be developed on the site without Councils approval" 

I consider that the wording.. "No additional buildings are permitted to be developed on the site" is a 

reasonable requirement which will not restrict the club from meeting its obligations under the NZ 

Pony Club (NZPC) rules. The land currently has three buildings (sheds & toilet block) located 

generally within the license to occupy area which are the responsibility of the PMTPC. These 

buildings are currently adequately sized to house the equipment owned by the club and required to 

run the rallies, gymkana's and dressage, showjumping, or showhunter events as required by the 

NZPC. 

I consider that the wording.. "No ....additional Infrastructure are permitted to be developed on the site" is 

an unreasonable requirement which could have the effect of hindering PMTPC club members 

development and the club from hosting events and meeting its NZPC and Building Act obligations. 

I have checked with Council regarding a definition of infrastructure and the effect of the wording 

as proposed in the draft plan. I understand infrastructure to cover items fixed to or located within 

the ground, and the effect to mean that under no circumstances will any additional permanent 

infrastructure be considered by Council staff or permitted. 

There are several permanent or semi permanent items of infrastructure on the site which are used 

by the club members at rallies, gymkanas, and others for events hosted by the Papamoa Pony 

Club. These include fencing, yards, cross country jumps, a water main, and the drainage disposal 

from the existing a toilet block. To date (and in terms with the clubs current license to occupy). 

Councils' approval is required prior to any change to these items or for consideration to new items 

or works being carried out on the land, inclusive of permanent and semi permanent infrastructure.

**AII submissions on this Draft Reserve Management Plan will be made available to the public through the Council's 


775 rx2- 


The three infrastructure items which I consider are likely to have the greatest effect on the ability for 

the club to provide training and facilities to club members and visiting riders are the cross country 

jumps, the water main and the drainage disposal from the shed and toilets. 

Cross Country Jumps 

PMTPC's cross country is a junior course. This is the only course in the area which caters for the 

lower level riders in the Tauranga area. For the course to be effective, to increase rider/pony/horse 

exposure and to promote safety, the club requires flexibility to change the jumps and the course 

orientation. The wording as currently proposed if taken item by item does not allow this flexibility. 

Water Main 

The current water main enters the site on Papamoa Beach Road and extends to the main shed and 

the toilet building. Recently a portion of the main was been replaced due to leakage problems. The 

club recognises Councils assistance in replacing a portion of this water main. The club is currently 

considering the replacement of the remaining water main and also betterment by installing valving 

beside the shed to isolate the shed and toilet building water supply . The wording as currently 

drafted and as interpreted by Council staff would allow the replacement of the existing line but not 

the installation of a value within the line. 

Effluent Disposal 

The current effluent disposal system is an old system (30-t- years). Should the club consider 

upgrading the system, the wording as currently drafted and as Interpreted by Council staff would not 

allow the installation of a reticulated system or an onsite system to the current Regional Councils 

requirements.

Dear Marie 

RE: 

COASTAL RESERVE MANAGEMENT PLAN - SUBMISSION 

This submission is made on behalf of the Papamoa Surf Ufe Saving Club Incorporated. 

Introduction 

The Papamoa Surf Lite Saving Club (the Club) was formed in 1990 in response to the grov^îng 

Papamoa community and the need for a more permanent surf life saving service at the 

popular Papamoa Domain. The current building facility was built in 1988/89, it was extended in 

2001 and continues as the base for the lifesaving operation that covers the 14.5 kilometre 

stretch of coast from Frasers Papamoa to Marjorie Lane at the end of Papamoa East. 

The building is located on an area leased from Tauranga City Council. It is now in a state of 

disrepair and unsuitable for surf life saving purpose. The toilet and shower facilities are 

dysfunctional and unusable, the patrol tower structure is decaying, there are weather leaks 

and the storage is inadequate - requiring three railway wagons, gear stored by Omanu Surf Life 

Saving Club and expensive gear being stored outside. Urgent attention is required to meet the 

needs of the 655 members and therefore to provide on effective life saving service for the 

community and visitors to the area. 

The Club exists to 'prevent drowning and injury on Papamoa Beach'. Development 

programmes ensure lifeguards are equipped to achieve this. In doing so they also acquire 

values and skills of community service, self responsibility, communication skills, thinking skills, 

fitness, teamwork, self belief, confidence, courage, first aid skills, crisis management skills, 

resilience and leadership. Members take all this into their families, their school, their work and 

into the Papamoa. Te Puke and Tauranga communities and beyond. Members ore better 

prepared to contribute to life than if they were not members. Having a functional club building 

supports all these required outcomes. 

The Club has assessed the current building facility for substantial repair and upgrade. The 

conclusion is that to do so is uneconomic as it would still not be functional to provide the 

facilities necessary for an effective lifeguarding service for the community and public into the 

next generation. Funding would be better directed towards a new facility that meets current 

and forecast needs of the Club and the community. 

A decision was made in 2008 to pursue the possibility of constructing a new surf club building 

for the site and H G Rose were engaged to develop an architectural concept plan for the new 

Club building. A design brief was established to ensure the build was designed to meet current 

and future growth needs of the Club. This is achieved by the use of modular design and 

careful planning of services. 

Submissions have been made to the Proposed City Plan with respect to the Papamoa Domain 

and overlay of various planning constraints including coastal hazards, sensitive ecological 

areas and important landscapes.

3S 

The Papamoa Surf Life Saving Club's submission to the Plan resulted in a special scheduled site 

being established for the Papamoa Surf Life Saving Club within the Popomoa Domain Reserve. 

However this area is constrained by ecological, landscape and coastal hazard issues.

The Coastal Reserve Management Plan (CRMP) identifies other Council policies including: 

• Sport and Active Living Strategy 

• Community and Private Use Policy 

• Commercial Activities on Reserves Policy (2012) - - 

Council's Sports and Active Living Strategy (SALS) sets out Tauranga 's vision for sport and 

active living. The strategy includes a goal to provide a wide variety of sporting activities and 

opportunities 1, creating pathways to enable groups and individuals to reach their potential 

(players, coaches, officials, administrators and volunteers)2, Participation in sport is recognised 

and valued^, People are aware of sporting opportunities in our area". Programmes and events 

motivate and educate people on the value of being active, and encourage participation^, 

our environment (Built and open space) encourages and motivates people to be active in 

their daily lives'. The Clubs activities ore totally aligned with goals set out in the SALS. 

In a matter of 20 years the club has produced several world and notional surf lifesaving 

champions. This is testament to the commitment of the club members, coaches and 

supporters. 

The clubs activities ore also aligned with ever/ key principle in SALS: 

1. Sport and acfive living contnbute not only to fhe wellbeing of individuals but create 

community cofiesion and identity. 

2. Our sport and active living resources will be focused on our existing and emerging 

strengths. 

3. Sport and active living opportunities need to be accessible for all to participate in. 

4. Community and volunteer input is recognised as fhe backbone of many sport and 

acfive living acfivities. 

5. Partnership and collaborative approaches are vital to the deliver/ of sport and active 

living opportunifies in our communifies. 

The SALS also references SmartGrowth vision which sees Tauranga to have "Lifestyle choices 

from surf to the mountains tops which reflect and support the natural attributes of the areas." 

The clubs activities ore well matched to the sub regional and district goals to create on 

environment that promotes healthy and active living. 

The Coastal Reserve Management Plan identifies three main objectives. These are: 

1. To protect and enhance natural and dune processes. 

2. To maintain and enhance natural character and ecological values. 

3. To provide for and enhance recreational opportunities. 

The CRMP has a specific reserve policy statement for the Papamoa Domain. The Club supports 

identification of the Papamoa Surf Club building and its activities within the Domain. Page 30 

of the Plan identifies City Plan zone provisions but does not recognise the Scheduled Site for the 

Papamoa Surf Club. This should be included within the Coastal Reserve Management Plan as 

an additional bullet point.

3S 

The Club supports the statement in the CRMP that the existing Surf Club building is in a poor 

condition and does not adequately provide for the Club's storage and activity requirements. 

Management statement (a) on page 30 is also supported as this recognises "the Reserve will 

support a high level of multiple uses whilst enhancing the natural character of fhe coastline". It 

is the Club's view that the proposed architectural concept for the new club building is 

consistent with this Management Statement. 

With respect to actions on page 31, the Club supports a collaborative approach working with 

Council staff to explore opportunities for the redevelopment of the Surf Club facility at 

Papamoa Domain and the development of a full proposal to Council for consideration. 

However, within the matters to be considered there ore also alternative sites outside the 

Papamoa Domain area. This will not meet the Surf Club's or needs as it will be away from the 

recreational users of the Domain, which is a natural focal point to Papamoa Beach having 

easy walk access, car parking, BBQ's and toilet facilities. 

The Club recognises the need to consider alternative sites within the Papamoa Domain but 

considers that sites outside the Papamoa Domain will not meet the Club's needs. This is 

because: 

1. The Club has historically been located in the Domain and has a lease'' with Tauranga 

City Council and this is also scheduled within the Tauranga City Plan. 

2. The surf lifesaving activity needs to be located where the most numbers of the public 

ore swimming. This is at Papamoa Domain where the reserve has been designed as a 

focal point for the public to congregate and includes a variety of facilities (Car 

parking, toilets, BBQ's, seating, lookout areas etc). 

3. The Club does not have funds to re-establish infrastructure (access, cor parking, sewer, 

stormwater, water reticulation). These costs could be substantial to re-establish at an 

alternate site whereas the existing site already has these sen/ices. It is efficient to reuse 

the existing sen/ice connections wherever possible and the surf club building proposal 

which has previously been submitted to Council makes best use of these services. 

4. The Club does not hove large budgets to promote its activities and building on a site 

that has stringent (or more restrictive) planning controls e.g. located within the 

Outstanding Natural Landscape Feature Area which applies to much of the Papamoa 

coastline. 

Management statements relating to Objective 2 - Maintenance of the Natural Character and 

Landscape and Ecological Values of the Coastal Environment 

The Management statements include a variety of actions and guidance statements. On Page 

15 of the Coastal Resen/e Management Plan criteria K is established for consideration of 

proposals to develop new buildings and permanent facilities or activities with the 

redevelopment or extension of existing buildings. 

The Surf Club is caught within these criteria for consideration of its new building. While the 

majority of the points/criteria are appropriate there is a statement which basically is openended 

and does not provide any effective guidance for the Club or to Councii as an asset 

manager. This particular criteria states "Any additional criteria or requirements idenfified as 

being required." 

The Club relies on consultants who volunteer their time and is not in a position to assess 

alternate club building sites that are contrary to the Club's vision and also the Tauranga City 

Plan. In particular much the coastal reserve of Papamoa is identified as an Outstanding 

Natural Feature and Landscape. The Domain however is identified as an Important Amenity 

Landscape which is a lesser landscape value. The New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 

promotes clustering of development along the coastal environment rather than a pepper 

potted approach. For these reasons the Club seeks to have at Popomoa Surf Club building 

^ Lease with right of renewal to 2053 

BMT09041_Coastai__RMP submission-finaL20130719.docx page 3

805 ^ ^ 

recognised in the Reserves Management Plan as being appropriate within the confines of the 

Papamoa Domain. 

Conclusion 

Overall the Papamoa Surf Club supports the Coastal Reserve Management Plan and its 

intentions with the minor variations to assessment criteria K and management statements as 

identified above. 

A new Club building is the necessary foundation for the sustainable provision of on effective 

lifeguard service and for the continued development of members so they can contribute 

better to their Papamoa, Te Puke and Tauranga communities. Other community groups who 

use the current facility - Lions, Guides and Scouts - are also committed to serving the 

community and growing leaders. They and other community groups will too benefit from use of 

the new facility. 

The Surf Club building should be considered a community asset rather than an asset that solely 

meets ttie functions of the surf club and life saving activity (consistent Reserves Management 

criteria J, P15). 

The Surf Club seeks o revised dedicated lease area within the Papamoa Domain and also for 

this lease area to be identified in the Coastal Reserve Management Plan. The area should 

hove on area similar to the current lease area but more appropriately located behind the 

Current Erosion Risk Area as defined by the Tauranga City Plan. 

We also seek the opportunity to share with you a short presentation which identifies the key 

issues the Club ore facing, the massive opportunities that exist, the leadership talent that is 

continuously being developed and the growing talent that is excelling on local, district, 

national and international stages. All being created from home grown Papamoa and Te Puke 

talent. Popomoa Surf Life Saving Club members and our communities are the beneficiaries of 

these contributions. 

The Club would like to be heard in support of this submission. 

Yours sincerely

Draft Costal Reserves Management Plan 


RE; Submission Draft Costal Reserves Management Plan 

Thank you for an opportunity to present comment to the Draft Costal Reserves Management Plan. 

This submission is made through the Eastern Region Office on behalf of Surf Lifesaving New Zealand. 

Our Mission & Vision is to 'Protect our Community in the Water' and the use ofthe Coastal Reserves 

is critical to achieving this. 

Surf Lifesaving New Zealand Draft Costal Plan Points: 

1. Surf Lifesaving New Zealand would support a more comprehensive safety signage 

programme to be put in place at all beach access points, similar to the Tay Street signage 

program. 

2. Surf Lifesaving New Zealand supports the current lease and permitted use for Mt 

Maunganui Lifeguard Service. 

3. Surf Lifesaving New Zealand supports the current lease and permitted use for Omanu Surf 

Lifesaving Club and will support them to extend their lease beyond the current 2016 date. 

4. Surf Lifesaving New Zealand supports tfie current lease and permitted use for Papamoa Surf 

Lifesaving Club. We also support the redevelopment ofthe Papamoa SLSC and will continue 

to work with Papamoa SLSC and Tauranga City Council to achieve the right outcomes that 

will meet future needs. 

5. Surf Lifesaving New Zealand also supports the need to set aside reserve land in the 

Papamoa East Area at either Taylors or Motiti Reserve for future Surf Lifesaving Club 

development. 

NOTE: To add to this we should look at the past to give us some guidance for the future in 

the way this development should occur. This would make point 4 above critical as having a 

strong Papamoa SLSC would allow for a more successful development of a Papamoa East 

facility.

Dear Stephanie 

Re: 

SUBMISSION TO DRAFT COASTAL RESERVES MANAGEMENT PLAN 

I write with my submission to the Draft Coastal Reserves Management Plan for 

consideration. I wish to be heard at the hearing. 

The Draft Reserve Management Plan provides a clear direction and I largely 

agree with it however I submit some recommended changes as follows: 

Regional Policy Statement, including Variation 1. 

The final Coastal Reserves Management Plan should address the Regional Policy 

Statement (RPS), including Variation 1. It is noted however Variation 1 is under 

appeal however in time will provide direction for management and development 

within the identified coastal environment. Council must give effect to the RPS and 

therefore should include this document in the statutory references within the 

Statutory Requirements. 

Resource Management Act 1991. 

The City Plan identifies Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes and 

Important Amenity Landscapes within the Coastal Reserves. These are driven 

from Section 6b and 7c ofthe RMA 1991 and reference could be included to 

discuss these and other Section 6 matters that are of importance, including 

ecological and cultural values. 

SmartGrowth 

The recent update to the SmartGrowth Strategy 2013 should be updated to 

remove the 2007 version. Decisions are still pending and the Final RMP 

document should reflect any outcomes from these decisions. 

20130719 Coastal RMP Submission RRY.docx

814 

'S^ 

Identified Significant Areas 

The City Plan identifies areas of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes, 

Important Amenity Landscapes and Special Ecological Areas as policy overlays. 

Discussion in the Statutory section should relate to these identified areas and the 

impact they have on the Coastal Reserves. 

The Draft Reserve Management Plan does not discuss the Important Amenity 

Landscapes identified in the City Plan. These occupy a significant amount of 

Coastal Reserve area along the open coastal edge and therefore should be 

discussed in the document. 

Objective 2 - Maintenance ofthe Natural Character and Landscape and 

Ecological Values ofthe Coastal Environment 

The natural character values are referred to in paragraph two as being derived 

from the presence of native dune vegetation. This is in part correct however 

reference to the natural dune system and dynamic coastal processes should also 

be referred to. Natural Character is defined within the RPS, Variation 1, 

Technical Report, Natural Character Assessment ofthe Bay of Plenty Coastal 

Environment. 

This paragraph also refers to areas having high natural character values, this is 

not an incorrect statement but must be taken in context with the RPS 

classifications of High, Very High and Outstanding Natural Character areas. The 

extent of human modification, including walkways, in these areas has a 

detrimental impact on natural character and is used as a key indicator to the level 

of natural character. The statement about the level of natural character should be 

given in context of the RPS, Variation 1. 

Objective 2, Management Statement C 

This does not refer to the Important Amenity Landscapes, of which are sited in 

much of the Coastal Reserves. Outstanding Natural Landscape Is a different 

level of identification and both levels should be noted in this statement. Similarly 

Action 2 should be amended to include this correction. 

Objective 2, Management Statement J 

This is an area where the provision of recreational facilities to support active 

recreation on the water has not been addressed. More consideration on the 

provision of space for support of active recreation on the water should be given. 

As growth is provided for within the City, so to should the provision to support 

growth within active recreational activities on the water. Coastal open space 

should support a balance of passive recreation whilst supporting active 

recreational needs of water users that require facilities adjacent to the water, eg. 

Surf Clubs, Waka Ama etc. 

20130719_Coastal RMP Submission_RRY.docx page 2

815 

^ 

^ 

Objective 2, Management Statement K 

The criteria seem loosely worded and if are to form a set of criteria should be 

definitive and avoid an open ended criteria, as per the last bullet point. 

What is the Club Project Assessment Criteria? Can this be included in the 

appendices of the management plan? 

Objective 3 - Provide for and enhance recreational opportunities within the 

coastal reserves. 

I largely support this Objective however it is weighted towards passive recreation 

and should provide commentary on Council's view on supporting active water 

based recreational needs. The term recreation appears to be used in regard to 

passive recreation (individual walking, cycling, picnicking etc). It does discuss 

events however makes no reference of organised and regular active recreation. 

Many coastal environments around the world and within NZ provide a balance of 

needs between active and passive recreation. This objective should address 

active recreational needs. 

Provision for space for water based active recreation is an important matter which 

the Coastal and Harbour Reserve Management Plans should address. Similarly 

the Sport and Active Living Strategy should also address this but omits the 

consideration of non land based active recreation. The provision of land to 

support active water based recreation should not be ignored and the approach to 

the analysis that is provided for active land based recreation should be 

considered for water based active recreation. 

If you have any queries regarding the above submission, prior to the hearing, I 

would be happy to meet and discuss them further.

17 June 2013) 

I have lived in Papamoa for over 40 vears and congratulate Coundi on the work beinq done to protect and enhance 

the valuable open space alonq the coast which is so Important in an urban area. A unique feature of Papamoa is 

the three kilometres of unmodified dunes between Papamoa Domain and Tavlor Road - a landscape feature which 

resembles closelv coastal National Parks I have visited in Australia. 

This serene open landscape is valued bv most residents and is a feature that attracts manv new families to live 

here. What I most value is the fact that when I walked to the beach from our home in Simpson Road there were no 

buildings or manmade structures to be seen from the water's edge and no vehicles invadinq the space. 

When the Council put in a stormwater outlet opposite Grant Place I was one of a qroup of residents who protested 

stronqlv aqainst havinq a solid structure right in the middle of the three kilometre open space, and this uqlv pipe and 

its stonewort< surrounds continue to be a blot on the landscape. 

Public education on the value of the dune landscape and its special veqetation and wildlife is an important role for 

Council, in partnership with the Bav of Plenty Reqional Council and the excellent work bema done bv Coastcare. 

I am concerned about the proposal to put a cvclewav/walkwav through this area, which was designated a wilderness 

area on planning documents held bv Tauranga County Council vears ago. Mv suggestion would be to locate anv 

structures and pathways close to the road reserve in the back dunes. This area has a significant weed problem and 

a pathway would assist Council with weed control. 

I would like to recommend to Council that the area t)etween Papamoa Domain and Tavlor Road be recognised as a 

site of special significance for its indigenous biodiversity and a commitment be made to protect and enhance these 

values. 

I would like to be involved in discussions on the proposed route and construction of anv pathway - the 

walkway through the stomfiwater reserve at Papamoa is a real asset, but I feel strongly that any similar construction 

in the natural dune area would have a verv negative effect on the special character of this precious piece of our 

coastline.

over 20 years. 

During the time this area was administered bv the Tauranga County Council a wilderness 

designation was put on the dune system between Papamoa Domain and Tavlor Road with the understanding that 

no disturbance or development would take place along this three kilometre stretch of coastline, and the native plant 

cover would be enhanced. 

Recentlv Coastcare has done an excellent iob of restoring natural dune cover in manv 

places alonq the coast, but there has been an influx of exotic plants and weeds in the back dunes closer to the road. 

We support the protection of the natural character and landscape values of the coastline with its native dune 

species. 

Open space is a precious commodity in an urban settinq. particularty ina place such as Papamoa where 

development continues at a fast pace. 

Education ofthe public on the importance ofthe naturally functioning dune system is welcomed. 

We are pleased to see action planned to restore and enhance the special ecological values ofthe area between 

Papamoa Domain and Taylor Road. It is of concem to see that this wort< has a low priority. 

The proposal for establishment of a cycleway/walkway within this special ecological area is of concem. Any such 

development should be located as far away as possible from the natural dune vegetation system and we support a 

similar plan to the Waihi Beach walkway which is located in the back dunes and has helped the Council with weed 

control. 

The dune system is also important for diversity of wildlife, particulariy skinks and insects. There is scope for raising 

public awareness of these values and Forest & Bird would be keen to assist, e.g.. giving talks and field trips for 

schools and service groups. 

Dr Antony Hams, entomologist from Otaqo University, visited Papamoa dune system some years ago and was very 

enthusiastic about the invertebrate life evident, writing to Forest & Bird after his visit urging us to keep up the work of 

protecting and enhancing the wild places in the dune system.

2. Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort Ltd Submission to the Tauranga City Council Draft Coastal Reserves Management Plan 

Coastal Reserves Management 

Plan Section 

1. Executive Summary: How the Plan deals 

with activities and development on the 

coastal reserves - Bullet Point No 3 

[Page 4] 

Amendments and Additions Sought by PBHR 

Amend Bullet Point No 3 to read as follows: 

If Ifie plan is silent on an activilv, tlie activitv mav still be considered, except 

wliere permitted under tlie Citv Plan. 

Comment 

Under the Tauranga City Plan, Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort is a 

Scheduled Site with an Outline Development Plan. It is not necessary to 

add another level of approval under the CRMP for permitted activities. 

PBHR do accept that it may be appropriate to consider the CRMP for 

those activities requiring a resource consent in the Scheduled Site under 

certain circumstances. 

Under the City Plan, all permitted activities are set under Rule 13A.9.3, 

and the relevant Permitted Aetivity Rules set out on Rule 13 A.9.4. Refer 

to Appendix B ofthis submission. Any activities requiring a resource 

consent are identified in Rule 13A. 12 (Discretionary) and Rule 13A. 13 

(Non-Complying) in the City Plan. 

2. Statutory Requirements: Tauranga City 

Plan - para 2 [Page 6] 

Add to paragraph two the following reference to PBHR being a Scheduled 

Site: 

Reserve land is classified Open Space in the City Plan. The rules for the 

Open Space zone provide specific controls that may have implications for the 

type of development that can occur on a particular reserve. For these 

reasons, the relevant City Plan provisions have been considered in the 

preparation ofthis manasement plan. The Cilv Plan has addressed specific 

activities established in the Open Space zane as Scheduled Sites; and 

identified in the rules what activities are provirled for, such as holidav 

accommodation and campins al Ihe Papamoa Beach Holidav Resort. 

There is no need to add a second level of approval procedures under the 

CRMP for those activities clearly provided for. This is unnecessary, 

inefficient and potenfially confusing for all concemed. 

Under the Tauranga City Plan, Papamoa Beach Floliday Resort is a 

Scheduled Site with an Outline Development Plan. Reference to 

Scheduled Sites must be included in the CRMP for Open Space zones 

under the City Plan. It is also important to note the example of camping 

and holiday accommodation at Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort, to give a 

clear understanding ofthe type of activity anticipated, which would be 

expected and acceptable within a coastal reserve.

where reference is made to the regulatory functions under LGA and RMA, 

including the District Plan. This should be amended to "Cilv Plari".

The inclusion ofthe Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort in the table is 

supported; however, the leased area details and final expiry need to be 

amended.

Beach Holiday Resort, as follows: 

Papamoa Beach Holidav Resort - Lease - Papamoa Domain - Campins 

sround and holidav resort - 5.325SHa (lot I DPS 40155} and 0.34Ha (CT 

46D/5I4)-30 June 2047 

Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort has a main lease area of 5.325511a, being 

Lot 1 DPS 40155; and there is an extension lease area of 0.3411a more or 

less being that part ofthe Recreation Reserve described in Certificate of 

title 46D/5I4. The period was extended last year to expire 30 June 2014 

to coincide with main lease area renewal date. These leases shall be 

renewed for the next term of 33 years, with provision made for further 

terms, pursuant to the provisions ofthe Reserves Aet 1977. 

All renewal procedures shall be in accordance with the First Schedule of 

the Reserves Act 1977 - Basic Provisions Applicable to Leases or 

Licences of Recreation Reserves and Scenic Reserves. Under the 

Provisions of Lease, a 'term' is a period not exceeding 33 years, and 

under 'renewal', the lease may include a provision that further similar 

terms may be granted ifthe terms and conditions ofthe lease have been 

complied with and ifthe lessor is satisfied that the camping ground and 

associated facilities have been properly constructed, developed, 

maintained, and controlled, and that there is sufficient need for them, and 

that some other recreational use should not have priority in the public 

interest.

Statements: Objective 2 - Maintenance of 

the natural character and landscape and 

ecological values ofthe coastal 

environment [Page 14] 

The wording in the first paragraph is .supported where reference is made to 

new activities being located in areas that are highly modified; and how it is 

recognised that improved buildings and facilifies contribute to the 

recreational use and enjoyment ofthe coastal reserves. 

Add further wording to paragraph one, to address the low level of natural 

character remaining in those areas already highly modified, as follows: 

The protection and enhancement of lhe coastal reserves is central to the . . . 

... ofthe coastal reserves. By concentrating development and commercial 

activities (permanent and temporary) in specific areas that are already 

highly modified the effects of such activities are better able to be 

accommodated and mitisated. These mortified areas are more appropriate 

for addilional beach side facilities and holidav accommodation where the 

remnant natural character is not so strons. 

Those areas where existing development has been long established along 

the coastal margin no longer retain much natural character. These are the 

areas that arc more appropriate for new development and intensification 

of facilities, such as at Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort. This should be 

recognised in the CRMP, particularly where remnant natural character is 

not so strong.

the natural character and landscape and

Statements: Objective 3 - Provide for and 

enhance recreational opportunities within 

the coastal reserves: Introductory text and 

Management Statements [Page 16] 

Add new wording after paragraph two, to identify the Papamoa Beach 

Holiday Resort as a long term commercial activity that has been established 

over a long period of time: 

[para 1] The coastal reserves are some of Tauranga City's most high profile 

...values, is achieved. 

[para 2] The predominant use ofthe coastal reserves is informal passive 

recreation; however, the coastal reserves provide for a range of other uses 

including commercial activities and special events. Commercial activities 

and special events contribute to and enhance the enjoyment of coastal 

reserves .... 

... and the environmeni can be minimised. 

[new para 31 Lons term commercial activities include the Papamoa Beach 

Holidav Resort, which is situated within the Coastal reserves and provides 

for campins and accommodation tarseted at a wide ranse of users. Given 

that this use alreadv exists within Ihe Coastal reserves and that the site has 

alreadv been sisnificantlv modified, it is considered that it is appropriate 

that this be allowed to continue and srow in accordance with holidav 

trends and the lease. It is acknowledsed that holidav trends are chansins 

and the Holidav Resort needs to be able to prosress in accordance with 

these trends, primarilv hv upsradins existins services and facilities to allow 

them to meet these demands (such as ablution blocks, meetins rooms and 

the camp reception area). 

[new para 41 The tvpe ofaccommodalirm provided also needs to reflect the 

chansins trends and allow the provision of more holidav units, hut also 

provide for the more traditional forms of holidav accommodation such as 

tentins and caravannins. 

Management Statements: 

Clarification is required under Management Statement 'c' referring to 

commercial acfivities to determine if this applies to temporary commercial 

activities. 

Management Statement 'd' needs to clarify whether this would restrict or 

fetter long term commercial activities seeking modifications or variations to 

their existing leases for new or expanded facilities. 

The Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort is a long standing established 

activity in an area where the natural character has been significantly 

modified; and which has a long term, ongoing lease enabling the 

continued provision for holiday makers to use and enjoy the Coastal 

reserve for recreation, camping and leisure purposes. There are changing 

trends in the holiday industr)', and the Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort 

needs the flexibility to respond to market demands and expectations for 

upgraded and improved facilities, as well as a range of accommodation 

types, from basic camping to visitor accommodation cabins and motel 

type units. 

The operative (current) Coa.stal Reserves Management Plan identifies 

how the Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort should be accommodated as a 

long term commercial activity under Objective 3: Commercial Activities, 

Section B Commercial (Long Term); and how the Papamoa Beach 

Holiday Park shall be allowed to continue at the same scale and intensity 

in accordance with holiday trends and their lease by: 

• Allowing additional holiday units. 

• Upgrading of existing facilities such as ablution blocks, meefing rooms 

and the camp reception area. 

Management Statement 'f addresses this aspect as well and should 

modified to include reference to the First Schedule ofthe Reserves Act 

1977 which enables renewal ofthe lease for a 33 year term; and also 

provides for a provision that further 33 year periods may be granted for 

the long term - provided certain conditions are met to council's 

satisfaction, and that some other recreational use should not have priority 

in the public interest.

Papamoa Domain and Stella Place car park. 

Either delete Manaeement Statement 'M' or modifv to state that "freedom

Freedom Camping Bylaw 2013; and shall not be provided on council

already leased for camping purposes. 

Add a new Action Number 9, as follows: 

•9." Staff to liaise with Papamoa Beach Holidav Resort on their onsoins

accordance with the First Schedule ofthe Reserves Ad 1977 wliich enables 

further 33 vear periods to be sranted for Ihe lonf: term. 

With regards to Management Statement 'M', Papamoa Beach Holiday 

Resort is opposed where it permits "freedom camping" at Harrisons Cut, 

Papamoa Domain and Stella Place car park. Council has already made 

provision for the public to enjoy camping opportunities through a leased 

area for Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort, which provides all the 

supporting facilities, ablufion blocks and recreational facilities. To allow 

freedom camping in close proximity to an established camp ground will 

result in potential issues of monitoring, enforcement, additional 

staff/resources required to control compliance, possible problems with 

control of waste and rubbish disposal, and adverse effects on the 

commercial operations of Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort. Refer 

Appendix C ofthis submission. 

Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort is a long established commercial 

activity, which has made significant investment in existing facilities over 

time, and intends to continue to provide the public with a range of 

camping, holiday accommodation and recreation facilities forthe long 

term. Therefore, it is necessary for certainty and efficiency reasons to 

include an Action that refers to the First Schedule ofthe Reserves Act 

1977, which enables renewal ofthe lease for a 33 year term; and also

Appendix A - Submission by Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort to the review of Reserves Management Plan 1997 

February 2013 

To: Tauranga City Council 

From: Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort Ltd 

Re: Submission to the review/ of Reserves Management Plan 1997 

My name is Bruce Crosby and I am a Director of Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort Ltd. Below are my written comments to be considered in the development 

ofthe Draft Coastal Reserves Management Plan. 

Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort Ltd is an important camping ground for the Bay of Plenty; in terms of coastal heritage value, economic growth, and the way 

it has provided numerous Kiwi families a great beach-front camping experience for over 50 years. The Leased area covers 5.3255ha plus an extension Lease 

area of 0.34ha. It now has 250 camp sites and 35 visitor holiday units with special provisions in the Tauranga City Plan allowing up to 80 visitor 

accommodation buildings, based on an Outline Development Plan which has been incorporated as Appendix 13B into the City Plan. Under the Outline 

Development Plan, the area of our camping ground closest to the fore-dune is Subzone A which only provides for limited use for tents, camper vans, 

caravans and minor ancillary structures; and for beach replenishment, nourishment and restoration works, thereby addressing coastal interface issues in a 

sustainable manner. 

QQ 

CO 

Over the last 46 years our family (through Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort Ltd), has looked after this part of the Coast and made a significant investment in 

terms of infrastructure, buildings and facilities that now enhance the whole coastal camping experience for many Kiwi families. The attraction of large 

numbers of campers to this area has had a huge injection into the local economy, with some campers deciding to invest in property or retire in the Bay. We 

have long-term plans for future facilities and improvements to ensure that families can continue to enjoy the unique experience we offer right here on the 

coast in Papamoa, generation after generation. 

Background 

Papamoa Beach Holiday Resort ("the holiday resort") features significantly in the CRMP 1997 as it is a large leasehold portion of the Papamoa Domain.

L ^ 

Content on pages 29 and 30 ofthe existing plan relating to the holiday resort is still accurate relating to the history, economic benefits to the area and 

holiday trends. Camping in caravans has been slowly declining, producing a higher demand for built accommodation. Tent camping has become more 

popular however it is limited in relation to the weather and can be very short term. The Freedom Camping Act 2011 will have an as yet unquantifiable 

negative affect on the holiday park industry. The holiday resort now has 250 camping/van sites and 35 visitor holiday units. 

The holiday resort has strived to be one ofthe best in NewZealand and is one of only 7 parks to be Qualmark rated 5 Star and hold the Enviro Gold award. 

Use and Enjoyment of the Reserves 

The wording in paragraph 2, page 58 of existing plan is still relevant. It is even more important that the holiday resort area is given long term certainty as 

some similar freehold holiday parks have been redeveloped over latter years and the public could have reduced opportunities to holiday and relax at 

beachfront locations. 

Commercial Activities 

The wording on page 62, B Considerations (Long term), qualifies the existing use and the fact that the site has been significantly modified over time and that 

changing holiday trends should allow the holiday resort to progress in line with customer trends. The section under Policy (b) stating that any significant 

new developments not currently provided for (e.g. tennis courts, swimming pools) etc should be deleted as this is contrary to the City Plan rules. OJ 

The CRMP should be updated in alignment with the objectives, policies and rules set out in the Tauranga City Plan under Chapter 13 Open Space, section 

13A.6 Objectives and Policies of Scheduled Sites, Policy 13A.6.1.1, specifically 13A6.1.1(b) Land scheduled as the Papamoa Top 10 Holiday Resort, and Rules 

13A.9.3, and 13A.9.4. 

Statutory Framework 

In 2010/11 much time was spent with TCC Planners and the resort Consultant Planner when the City Plan was formulated. It was agreed that the resort 

should have a Scheduled Site designation within the Open Space Zone (as noted previously). Under this Plan the resort now has its own Objectives and 

Policies detailed and these provisions should now be taken into consideration in the review of the RMP. Refer to Chapter 13 Open Space Provisions of the 

City Plan. 

TCC Reserve Management Plan Guidelines (2011)

4-z. 

Under Plan Content, part 2, Specific Parks Section the information relating to the holiday resort should be meaningful, relevant to the wants and needs of 

the public and the industry trends. 

History: 

Note that the Domain was originally used by the public as an informal camp and that the Council initiated a formal lease for the camp ground so the public 

could enjoy the coastal environment with facilities. The camp ground has been in existence for over 50 years and the area has been modified for holiday 

accommodation purposes over this time and the natural character of the area has been compromised. The intention of the holiday resort is to provide a 

variety of holiday accommodation types and leisure facilities to suit the needs of the public and allow them to enjoy the coastal environment. 

Features and available facilities: 

The holiday resort is a top rated asset to the district and the Papamoa Domain. The facilities cater to the largest sector of the holidaying public by having a 

bed for every budget. 

Existing leases and renewal timeframes: 

The terms ofthe current lease are from 1/7/1984 to 30/6/2014 with a 30 year right of renewal. 

^ 

ro 

The extension to the leased area was granted when the surf tower was demolished with the advent of the surf club. This small area neatly included the 

area around the dune ridge adjacent to the domain car park. This lease expired 1/12/2012 and has since been renewed for a period up to 30/6/2014 to tie 

in with the main lease renewal. It makes sense for this slither of land to be included in the main lease area when the lease is renewed 30/6/2014 so as to 

tidy up the situation. 

In 2013 the holiday resort will request TCC that it has a new updated lease written before the renewal date in 2014. It will also request that a further term 

of 33 years, as per the Reserves Act First Schedule under term and renewal, be granted in the lease. This provision will give security and confidence to the 

Lessee to continue investing and developing the property in line with customer demands and holiday trends, as well as the City Plan provisions.

k-- 

Specific reserve issues and opportunities: 

The Papamoa Domain now fronts in part, the largest suburb of Tauranga and as such it should be a high quality experience for visitors. The opportunity 

exists to create this by good forward planning, which has partly been done with the City Plan, and the current reviewing of the RMP. The holiday resort is 

proud to be part of this and has endeavoured to provide a quality product and experience for the visitors. 

Management statements: 

City Plan Objectives and Policies should be taken into consideration when preparing the RMP. Refer to Chapter 13 Open Space, section 13A.6 Objectives 

and Policies of Scheduled Sites, Policy 13A.6.1.1, specifically 13A6.1.1(b) Land scheduled as the Papamoa Top 10 Holiday Resort, and Rules 13A.9.3, and 

13A.9.4. 

District Plan Zone: 

The CRMP needs to recognise the Open Space zone with Recreation and Leisure Scheduled Site. Refer to Tauranga City Plan maps L48 and R48; and also 

Appendix 13B: Papamoa Beach Top 10 Holiday Resort Scheduled Site - Outline Development Plan. The Sub-zones A, B and C for the Scheduled Site address 

scale, intensity and character for development of the holiday resort, to maintain environmental sustainability at the coastal interface. 

Note that the adjoining fore-dune is protected in the Tauranga City Plan with the Conservation Zone, a Special Ecological Area and the Important Amenity 

Landscape Plan Area for sustainability purposes as well. 

CO 

co 

Action Table: 

1. Align CRMP with Tauranga City Plan provisions to enhance future growth and development of the holiday resort, while maintaining environmental 

sustainability at the coastal interface; 

2. Ensure that the holiday resort has flexibility to respond to changing trends within the visitor and tourist market, particularly for camping, caravans, 

camper vans, kit-set awnings, mobile annexes, visitor accommodation, other structures and associated infrastructure and ancillary facilities; 

3. Ensure coastal protection works, pedestrian access tracks and public access to the beach does not restrict, limit or fetter the holiday resort operations 

and future development plans in any way; and 

4. Review lease arrangements to facilitate long term lease renewals and certainty for future investment and upgrading of facilities. 

12

Lf- 

Conclusion 

The holiday resort has been established for quite some time now, providing generation after generation with a great beach camping experience. We intend 

to continue to provide many more generations with this unique camping/holiday opportunity and seek that the CRMP enhances our ability to plan for the 

long term with certainty; and without restrictions on future investment to develop and upgrade the existing facilities. More specifically, and to conclude, we 

would stress the following points that must be recognised and provided for in the review ofthe CRMP by Council: 

1. The holiday resort has a long-standing history on this site, being established over 50 years ago, and is part of our social culture, and the heritage 

value we have in Papamoa Beach; 

2. We have made a significant investment on the site, in terms of infrastructure, buildings and facilities that enhance the coastal camping experience 

for Kiwi families; 

3. Numerous New Zeaiand families have benefited over the years coming for a beach experience that is unique in this part of the Bay; 

4. The attraction of large numbers of campers to this area has had a huge injection into the local economy, with some campers deciding to invest in 

property or retire in the Bay; 

5. We recognise that the fore- dune protection is necessary along the coastal margin, and we too have assisted with looking afterthis part ofthe coast 

for sustainability purposes; and 

Q3 

6. It is imperative that the Council does not allow freedom camping in the Papamoa Domain, Harrisons Cut and the Stella Place car park area as it CO 

would inhibit the ongoing viability and development ofthe holiday resort. 

Accordingly, we seek that the CRMP is aligned with the Tauranga City Plan provisions for the holiday resort and that no further restrictions are imposed on 

future growth and development of the existing facilities; and also that provision is made to review the long term lease for certainty, particularly for long 

term investments and upgrades.

Dear Sir/Madam, 

Re: Submission to Draft Freedom Camping Bylaw 2013 

Firstly, we would like to acknowledge that the Tauranga City Council (TCC) has been compelled to revise its Freedom Camping Policies by the 

passing of the Freedom Camping Act 2011 by the Government. We are aware of the provisions of the Act. 

TCC Councillors should not make a decision on this Bylaw as TCC is the owner/operator of a registered holiday park and also receives rent 

from 2 other holiday parks. This Bylaw will have a significant impact on the business of holiday parks. 

00 

An independent commissioner should conduct the hearing and make a binding decision to Council. 

We support freedom camping in appropriate locations and oppose it in other locations. 

We seek a sensible buffer area around commercial holiday parks to discourage unlawful use of facilities and to remove the inevitable tension 

created by freedom camping under the noses of legitimate holiday parks paying their way in society. 

Identified issues & recommendations to the Draft Bylaw

Recommendation: Definition/wording of 'Car Park' be changed to 'Car Park area' to avoid doubt.

3.1 {h) Support 

3.1 (i): Support. 

However Oppose Schedule 1 restrictions; see issues against clause 6 below. 

Clause 4: Offenses & Breaches. 

4.1 Support. 

CO 

iP* 

CO 

Identified Issues; 

a. To enforce these Bylaws Council will need to have a monitoring & enforcement policy. 

b. With the proposed number of freedom camping sites, technically on any given night there could be hundreds of freedom campers to be 

monitored. Restricting numbers would lessen the cost of monitoring & enforcement. 

c. Under the Act, Council has an obligation to adequately define by map & description each restricted or prohibited area. It also has an 

obligation to Install adequate signage throughout the city. To adequately Inform freedom campers via print, media, web, signage and 

Including monitoring & enforcement It will come at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars to ratepayers. We have been Informed that 

Council has no budget for monitoring & enforcement and If this Bylaw passes, provision will have to be made for this. 

21

0-2-' 

d. Under the proposed Bylaw, legally parked self-contained vehicles will attract sleeper vans etc as It has proven to do so. Not all people 

want to make themselves aware of the rules & regulations, hence the need for adequate signage and enforcement. 

Clause 6: Schedule 1; Freedom Camping Areas. 

Section 6.1: RESERVES: 

6.1 Oppose 

Reasons: 

a. In relation sports fields; camping Is allowed Sunday-Thursday only, however sports teams generally practice after-work mid-week and 

sports such as bowls & tennis during the day. Not to mention sports tournaments, which are generally mid-week. The draft restrictions 

Infer that the sports field car parks are only at a premium use during weekends. 

b. In relation to Coastal Reserves; Freedom camping should not be allowed In Papamoa Domain, Stella Place and Harrisons Cut. It is 

sensible that some buffering around a commercial holiday park should be put In place. This can assist In discouraging the unlawful use 

of facilities. E.g. showers, toilets & dump stations, which occurs at many parks, but also remove the inevitable tension that will arise 

from campers overnighting for free under the noses of our commercial holiday park. 

Note: We note that the draft Includes a large prohibited buffer zone around the Councils own Holiday Park in Mt Maunganui. e.g the 

exclusion zone of The Mall and Marine Parade from Adams Ave to Banks Ave. 

Why Is It that a buffer zone has been included for the Councils own Holiday Park, yet 3 locations in the Immediate vicinity of our holiday 

park have been permitted? 

Co 

^ 

^ 

c. In relation to all other reserves mentioned In the draft; any freedom camping over the summer months and weekends could prevent 

others from undertaking legitimate activities in the Reserve. 

d. In relation to restrictions In all reserve areas; there is no vehicle weight restriction. 

Recommendation 1: Freedom camping should not be permitted In Harrisons Cut, Stella Place & the Papamoa Domain. 

Recommendation 2: Maximum of 2 vehicles per permitted reserve/sports field. 

Recommendation 3: Vehicle must be less than 3.5 tonnes. 

Reason: Designated areas In Reserves may not be hard surfaced and large vehicles could tear-up the grass or metalled surface. 

22

i\2- 

Section 6.2: ROAD AREAS: 

a. In relation to residential areas; 

Oppose. 

Reason: No restriction on numbers of vehicles. 

Recommendation; Maximum of 2 vehicles In any one area. 

b. In relation to Nikau Crescent; 

Oppose. 


Recommendation 1: Maximum of 2 vehicles. 


c. In relation to Commercial areas; 

Oppose. 


Recommendation 1; A restriction policy on number of vehicles per area. 

Recommendation 2: Vehicle must be less than 3.5 tonnes 

d. In relation to Industrial areas; 

Oppose. 

Reason: No restrictions at all. These are busy areas where parking Is limited already due to trucks, trailers, work vehicles and the like. 

Recommendation 1: A restriction policy on number of vehicles per area. 


CO 

•£* 

C/l 

e. In relation to Rural areas; 

Oppose. No restriction on numbers of vehicles. 



f. In relation to Rural Residential areas; 




23

^l^l 

Section 6.2: CAR PARK AREAS: 

The draft has no restriction on the number of vehicles In the allocated car park areas. This could prevent ratepayers going about their legitimate 

business. 

e.g. Technically the car park In the central Mt Maunganui shopping area could be completely full of legally parked freedom campers at any one 

time denying both residents & paying holiday makers access. 

e.g. It Is a fact that the Papamoa Community Centre car park Is often full of library users & evening users ofthe premises so to allow freedom 

camping In this car park will restrict local residents use ofthe car park. 

Recommendation 1: Maximum of 2 vehicles per car park area 


Section 7: Sechdule 2; Prohibited Areas 

Section 7.1: Support 



CO 

0^ 

Other Issues; 

a. Review of Bylaw; 

FCA 2011; Clause 13(1): States a review must be made no later than 5 years after the date on which the Bylaw was made. 

Recommendation: A review within 2 years would be appropriate to assess the Impact of the new Bylaw. 

b. Fire Safety; 

We feel that Council would be wise to include an additional restriction stating that; "mobile homes must be parked a minimum of 3 

meters apart". This Is a basic fire safety measure and Is Important for temporary living places which are carrying gas and other 

flammable substances. 

24

^-2_ 

c. Under this proposed draft we would like to make the ratepayers aware that a person could technically live In a self-contained 

motorhome on the streets of Tauranga all year round and contribute nothing. It can be argued that they spend money In the area, 

however contributing money to supermarkets and petrol stations should not be considered a relevant & fair contribution to our 

communities. 

d. It should be recognised that the city has ample registered Holiday Parks, which are only fully occupied 28 December - 6 January at a 

maximum In any given year and therefore there Is no lack of capacity. These holiday parks provide dump stations, waste removal & 

recycling, lighting, fencing, controlled access to the site & on-site management security etc; all at no cost to the rate payer. 

Violent attacks on freedom campers In NZ are well documented and the Citys reputation has the potential to be seriously damaged with 

the proposed number of freedom camping sites. Whilst Holiday Parks cannot guarantee visitor safety, we do put in place a range of 

measures which address the Issue. 

Holiday Parks have insurance covering such things as public liability. Would Council be liable for any injury or action that occurs on a 

site that it has allowed an activity to occur, when It has not provided the necessary facilities for that activity. 

Thank you for your consideration in these matters.

Attention: 

Stephanie Keliy 

Submission to Tauranga District Council "Coastal Reserves 

Management Review Plan" 

My name is John Davis from Blenheim and I am the owner of the Bluebiyou Restaurant at the domain. 

This submission has been completed by me and two shareholders Glen Waters and Al Davis. I submit this also 

on their behalf and they have agreed to the content as presented. 

John Davis Family Trust Ltd at present leases the premises from the Tauranga District Council under an existing 

lease which is due for renewal on 30 November 2013 for a further term of five years to November 2018. 

Before we purchased the property we had meetings with Council officers regarding the continuing lease 

arrangements to ensure there were not any negative issues that could affect the lease. 

It was fairly obvious from those meetings, that as long as the Council had no other use for the land and we 

abided by the terms of the lease, that the renewals should be fairly automatic. Hence we decided to 

purchase both the business and the buildings and commit to giving the property a good spruce up and tr/ to 

make it work for all parties concerned. 

Over the last two years we have further invested a considerable amount of extra capital to enhance the 

business by way of a new function room, kitchen, refurbished the flat, the entrance to the restaurant, plus we 

have plans submitted and approved by Council to develop even further. These next stages are subject only 

to: 

1. All parties having complete clarity as to what is envisaged with the Surf Club development. 

2. Achieving a suitable longer term lease with Council to warrant the increased investment. 

3. Market conditions being positive. 

Hence we would like through the CRMR Plan, for Council to support our submission for renewal of our activity 

at the domain. 

We would ask the TDC to approve the five year extension to our existing lease from 30 November 2013 to 

30 November 2018. 

At the same time we would ask that Council approve a further 4x5 year leases from 1 December 2018, so 

ongoing sound business plans can be put in place and followed. 

Full plans for the future stages have been approved by Council Building and Resource Departments at the 

TDC, who have given us an extension for our permit which we submitted in 2011 for the future stages, until such 

time OS items 1 and 2 above have been clarified and resolved. 

In the meantime we are moving on and constructing a new front fence fagade so as to create a nicer first 

impression for the business from the public's point of view. We are also improving the public bar toilets while 

we await the decision on 1 and 2 above. We have notified Council and will proceed soon after the hearing, 

with the completion of this work expected to be around early October of this year. 

I have also listed many other features and reasons why we consider the "Bluebiyou" should always be 

preserved and supported in full by Council in the future, as a community asset.

854 

^•s 

The property is an iconic place with a long history that many local and foreign visitors have enjoyed over the 

past decades and are still doing so. 

1. Having both the Restaurant and Camp adjacent to each other encourages many groups to come to 

Papamoa/Tauranga from outside of the district and we are noticing a steady increase in patronage. 

2. Recently the Camp and the Bluebiyou hosted six Wellington Junior Touch Teams and were able to 

accommodate and feed over 100 teenagers for four days, with no travel worries for the organisers. 

They were rapt about this opportunity which is not offered anywhere else in the Bays. 

3. The business is also enjoyed by Papamoa residents, beach goers and the Camp visitors for casual 

dining and refreshments without them having to cross the main Papamoa Beach Road. This has 

beneficial safety ramifications, especially for children. 

4. Beach weddings are popular and our venue is one of only a few options available providing that 

experience. Eighty percent of weddings have a total guest list of 100 people or less so our function 

room is the perfect fit for that market and the reason why capital investment in our function room was 

our first priority. 

5. The function room is offered to clubs, schools. Rotor/ and other voluntar/ organisations to facilitate 

fundraising and social activities. We have already promoted our facility to these groups in the area 

and are keen to enhance this service further. 

6. The business is iconic and has been in existence at the domain for many decades and has always 

proved very popular and a fun place to be. This can only be enhanced by the ongoing 

improvements we propose to make. 

7. The building is sited on a sloping piece of ground at the reserve that would have no other use by 

Council and returns it a nice annual rental. 

8. This rental assists in paying for the upkeep of the reserve, at no cost to the ratepayers. 

9. We have just had an onsite tavern licence approved and that is proving to be hit with the locals, 

thereby adding to the business's ongoing popularity. 

10. Drink driving is not an issue for visitors to have to worry about when attending functions, with 

accommodation next door at the Camp. 

11. We are the first owners in many years to invest the capital to enhance the property for Council. 

12. Our relationship with the Papamoa Top 10 Camp is very strong and we are planning new incentives to 

make both businesses stronger at the domain and therefore be a better place to come to and enjoy. 

13. We ore currently working with both the Camp and the Surf Club, in trying to establish a closer 

relationship for the three parties in the future. 

14. We have been able to make the business a better and more desirable place for the public, with the 

enhancements we have made to dote. 

15. We have worked closely with Council officers, to achieve a strong relationship over the three years 

and met ever/ promise and obligation regarding our lease. 

16. While the hospitality marketplace is not strong generally, we hove been able to meet our 

expectations through investment and new concepts and have many more innovative ideas in mind 

thereby making sure we are doing the best for Council as tenants. 

17. We have a vested interest in wanting to make the business something ver/ special in the future and 

we hope that Council is with us all flie way to make this happen. 

18. With support from Council and further capital investment, we will make the business more appealing 

and make the domain a better place in general. 

19. I do thank the Council Managers for their assistance to date through the phases of these submissions 

and we are confident the goodwill established to date can be strengthened even more in the future. 

20. The Popamoo domain is something iconic and unique, that should be enhanced and carefully 

planned for the future. 

Proposed New Surf Club Development 

At this early stage, we are not clear as to what will be approved, or in fact what any final licence will look like 

with the Surf Club's proposal, in respect to the function/hospitality side of their operation. We are however 

clear that they require more storage for their sports gear.

855 ^s 

Hopefully the proposal will be made very clear to all tenants at the domain, so future planning and the effects 

on existing leases can be considered fully. The hospitality business has been ver/ fragile over the last five 

years, so any decision making with regard to hospitality at the Club will need sound studies and discussions so 

that any effect on other tenants can be established upfront. 

The three tenants at the domain have set up a meeting for 19 July to discuss what the Surf Club is anticipating, 

so any outcome from that meeting is expected to be available at the hearing. 

We hove already offered the Surf Club the opportunity to purchase our property if in fact they are looking to 

develop an income stream from hospitality (subject to Council approval of course), so there is no double up of 

operating expenses and overheads that would moke both operations uneconomical and vulnerable, plus 

achieve a diminished rental for the TDC. 

Car Parking 

This is a major issue in the summer time at the domain. The parks we pay rent for are ver/ often used by 

beachgoers from early in the morning which restricts the number of pofrons we can accommodate in the 

restourant. 

Any further hospitality development at the Surf Club would require massive car park extension areas. 

I am positive that all parties are very well aware of where any crossovers would occur and I am confident that 

with good communications and transparency, we all can build strong goodwill to achieve the best result for 

all parties. 

I am happy to answer any questions at this point. 

Thank you for the opportunity to express our thoughts today. 

Thank yp(jin\3nticipation.

Papamoa Dunes Trail (formerly referrred to as a cycleway/walkway) 

We write to you In support of our initial submission In February 2013 (copy attached) In 

which we requested that provision be made In the Coastal Reserves Management Plan 

for the construction of a Dunes Trail along the Papamoa Coastal strip from Taylor 

Reserve in the east to a point adjacent to where Logan Road meets Papamoa Beach 

Road In the west. 

Our overriding principles in proposing this DunesTrail could be summarised as:- 

• Improved access to the scenic coastal environment for the benefit and 

enjoyment of the public 

• To stimulate local & regional economies by providing a quality recreational 

activity, and 

• Foster Increased appreciation of the coastal environment and its cultural history 

that will Initiate improvements In the management and enhancement of the 

natural coastal environment. 

The project has received considerable support from within our community since it was 

first reported and is viewed as a progressive initiative. The project will result In a quality 

leisure, recreational and learning experience that will be freely available to the public 

and will provide access to and along the coastal strip. It is anticipated that the trail will 

quickly result In better access of the coastal environment and indigenous habitats. 

We believe this fits well with the stated objectives of the Coastal Reserves 

Management Plan as set out in the executive summary overview which states quote 

"For the recreational and sporting activities and the physical welfare and enjoyment of 

the public and for protection of the natural environment and beauty of the countryside, 

with the emphasis on the retention of open spaces and on outdoor activities " 

So what has happened since we last spoke to council in March 2013? 

We have been proactive in our collaborative approach to this project by talking to 

known Interested parties and sharing with them our vision and asking each parly if they 

would share any concerns they have at this time. 

Those spoken to include representatives of local Iwl, The Historic Places Trust, BOP 

Regional Council, Forest & Bird, Department of Conservation and many members of 

the public who have taken the trouble to find out who we as members of the Papamoa 

Rotary club are and contacted us saying how thrilled they are that we have taken this 

initiative to develop this local treasure.

857 

LV^ 

Each of the above thanked us for taking the time to share with them our vision for this 

project and we certainly came away from each meeting with no Indication that there 

were any fundamental concerns with our proposed plans. We have In each case 

agreed to keep these groups Involved as this project moves forward. 

Additionally we have visited the Opotiki District Council and spoken at length to the 

employee who was Instrumental In the formation of the Motu Trails. The dunes section 

of the Motu Trail runs through similar terrain to that of the Papamoa Dunes and his 

comments were that their trail has proven to be a major asset to the district In several 

areas. These could be summarized as follows:- 

• Increased enjoyment by the public due to improved access to the scenic 

coastal environment 

• Stimulated local & regional economies by providing quality recreational 

activities 

• Fostered Increased appreciation of the coastal environment and it's 

cultural history 

• The existence of the trail has enabled the Opotiki District Council and 

their contractors and Coast Care greater access to the dunes to enable 

the control of and/or eradication of noxious weed species and noxious 

animals which previously were virtually impossible to get access to. 

Please be advised that we would be happy to speak to the Strategy and Policy 

committee In support of this submission should you suggest we do so.

Re Coastal Reserve management Plan 1997 

7*^ February 2013 

The Papamoa Rotary Club would like to make a submission in relation to the review 

ofthe Coastal Reserve Management Plan. 

Our organization considers that it is appropriate for this plan to now incorporate the 

establishment of a cycleway/walkway within the dune protection reserve in the 

Papamoa area from Logan Road to the Taylor Reserve. 

The reserve area is an integral part of the beach protection but it is also a substantial 

area that could be made partially available for public use without impacting on its 

primary function. 

Traffic movements along Papamoa Beach Road are increasing and a safer 

cycle/pedestrian access would have major benefits especially for the younger and 

older populations. The population growth in this area is rapid and this will increase 

when the improved access to the area is completed. 

We also consider that there is an opportunity to incorporate the existing Drainage 

Reserve access way with this one along the coastal margins that will better utilize 

the natural beauty ofthis area 

We would like to accept your offer of 22 January and be part of the proposed 

workshop on 26'^^ February. 

Yours Sincerely

RE: INTENTION TO REVIEW COASTAL RESERVES MANAGEMENT PLAN 

1997, ETC. UNDER THE RESERVES ACT 1977 

My submissions/comments in respect ofthe above Review are a$ foUovvs: - 

(i) Dune Restoration; Yes, correct restoration of the natural dune process is supported. 

Once again the predilection with native plants is ridiculous and if exotics like Agapanthus are 

working leave them alone otherwise you will end up with shifting sand dunes akin to a desert. 

Yes, by all means plant natives in addition but allow them to become established before 

removing all other existing vegetation, 

(ii) Weed Control; Yes, deal with genuine weeds by all means but using weed 

control as a means and the excuse for eliminating exotic plants is not a fair description about 

what is happening here- 

(iii) Pilot Bay: Small shade trees could possibly be planted and beneficial but I 

completely oppose excessive Pohutukawa planting in this area. Waka Ana Club aad the 

storeage of private dingys on the beach as they are currently sited do not cause any problem to 

other users. 

(vi) Trees; These are very important features in the coastal envirotunent The native vs. 

exotic argument is fercica! - Norfolk Pines on Marine Parade and Pilot Bay are estabhshed 

features and should be preserved. The predilection with native trees like pohutukawa is being 

taken to the extreme. Ail exotic vegetation should not be removed post haste. The current plan 

should be amended to give flexibility and allow commonsense to prevail. 

(v) Marine Parade; It is accepted there will be damage to roading infrastructure and 

we should manage this as best we can, perhaps shift kerbing where no other option and 

planting of new trees cannot cause any harm, provided they are not pohutukawa. 

(iv) Seats. Toilets. Events, etc; Seat numbers along the coast are about right, perhaps 

could look at another toilet block between Banks Avenue and Dee Street, Moimt Maunganui 

but that is questionable. 

2013/07/19 16:39:15 #6016 P.004/006

863 L^l 

(v) Commercial Activities; Mobile Coffee Carts and Food Stalls take up a lot of 

space and can be obtrusive. Perhaps locations could be moved over onto the front of Mount 

Dnuy Reserve, but in any event activities must be rigorously policed. An adequate rental must 

be paid, currently around $30 per day per site should probably be closer to $50 per day. 

(vii) 

COASTAL RESERVE COMMITTEES: 

Initial Review Committee; This should be comprised of elected members (a majority) and 

say 3 others duly ayppointed by elected members who can also remove them from office. 

Coastal Reserves Management Committee: Once again^ this should be comprised of 

elected members (a majority) and others duly appointed by elected members who can also 

remove them from oflSce. 

In neither case should local 'iwi' be given 50% representation on these Committees as of right, 

to the detriment of other groups in the Tauranga community, In particular there should be no 

trashing of democracy as is currently happening with Hauraki Gulf Forum (Auckland) by all 

accounts. 

Once the new drafi Coastal Reserves Plan is formulated I wouid expect the public to have full 

riehts to make formal submissions on anv new proposals.

SUBMISSION; 

COASTAL RESERVES MANAGEMENT PLAN 

On IS^*" Febnxary 2013,1 lodged a submission on the Coimcil's Intention to review the 

Coastal Reserves Management Plan 1997 under the Reserves Act 1977 (a copy ofthe 

submission annexed). I reiterate what I said in that submission and confinn I also 

support Council action on coastal encroachments. 

Council should aiso have due regard to the following: - 

1. Outstanding natural coastal features must be recognised, protected and 

preserved. 

2. Coimcil must (as is applicable) comply fully with the NZ Coastal Policy 

Statement 2010, the Bay of Plenty Regional Coastal Envirormiental Coastal 

Plan and Tauranga City Council City Plan in relation to Coastal Reserves. 

3. Coastal Reserve Management must be kept entirely vsithin the control of the 

appropriate local authority - in this case, Tauranga City Council. 

COASTAL RESERVE COMMITTEES: - 

Coastal Reserves Management Committee: This should be comprised of TCC 

elected members (a majority) and others duly appointed by the elected members who 

can also remove them from office. 

Local 'iwi' should not be given 50% representation on Committees as of right, to the 

detriment of other groups in the Tauranga community. In particular, there should be 

no trashing of democracy as is currently happening with Hauraki Gulf Forum 

(Auckland) by all accounts.

TAURANGACITYCOUNCIL 

I do not wish to speak to the committee in support of my submission. 

My submission is: 

1. Momriki (Leisure Island) I suggest CLEAR/UNDERSTANDABLE no dog signage. 

The signage regarding no dogs allowed onto Island is totally inadequate. The island is home to 

nesting Little Blue Penguins and dogs arc the biggest killers of penguins in NZ (stat from Waikato 

University BSc study). On numerous occasions 1 have come across people with dogs on the Island 

at all times ofthe day. They are made up of locals and visitors, most who say they are unaware of 

the no dog policy and signage. Reasons given include them being illiterate, they are foreign and 

don't understand, didn't see any signs, my dog is harmless, unaware, saw other people with dogs so 

thought it OK and occasionally pure arrogance! 

The friendly map approach of no dog areas sited at the start ofthe Island is clearly not working. 

Signage needs to be a white background with a black dog on and a red line trough the dog and 

annotation of NO DOGS ALLOWED ON ISLAND or similar. 

2. Increased funding for dune restoration and pest control to be given to Council Parks 

and reserves dept. 

Weeds are infesting the dune areas in particular grasses such as Kikuyu and Buffalo grass. A clear 

strip of 0.5 to 1 metre needs to be established between the native plantings and reserve areas of 

grass such as around car parks and along the whole coastal area. This is particularly evident along 

Marine Parade and Papamoa Beach Road where the grasses are encroaching significantly into the 

native planting areas. The infestation will only get worse and more expensive to remove, the longer 

it is left. 

The Cenotaph area of fore dunes at Marine Parade is in dire need of restoration, befitting ofthe 

monument and the people it represents. The access ways to the beach here are in need of repair 

(broken wooden steps and high erosion causing displacement of fill). Nails are visible on the steps 

as they are damaged from high use and displacement of dune sand, they appear to be not built to a 

set standard (do council have laid down standards of build and fill for dune access structures?).

867 b ^ 

3. The Boulders at start of Leisure Island are illegal and need removing. 

The boulders were illegally placed without consent, many years ago (1980's?), by the 

developer of Marine Land. They are stopping the flow of water and sand movement in the 

area causing the main beach level to be significantly higher than the beach level to the East of 

the boulders opposite the Cenotaph. Their position also causes erosion ofthe sand dune area 

immediately adjacent to their position. The boulders are a Health and Safety issue to bathers 

and surfboard users in the immediate area. 

4. Coastal Reserve land not to be used as a car park/storage area. Removal of trailers and 

concrete pad from Reserve Area at the Mount Surf Club. 

The surfclub store empty trailers on coastal reserve land (beach) that is outside of their lease 

area. The problem is aesthetically displeasing, and the problem is getting worse. A few of 

years ago there was 1 trailer, now there are 3-4 trailers, one which is really an advertising site 

for a company as they have signage on both sides of one trailer. A concrete pad owned by 

Surf Club New Zealand is stored on the reserve land all year round, again outside the lease 

area ofthe surfclub and needs to be removed when the tower to which it relates to is removed 

from site. 

5. Continuation of dune restoration ofthe Mount main beach area to the surfclub. 

This area suffers from human impact erosion due to high usage and the grass bank is being 

quickly eroded towards the walkway. In high winds, sand is blown into the faces of people 

and towards the roadway. Coast Care has being in existence for many years and this area still 

remains unplanted. Funding needs to be made available for this area to be planted as quickly 

as possible to stop the erosion and trap sand. 

The access ways along the main beach need to be m-filled due to high usage and steps/ sand 

ladders installed as per coast care policy. 

6. Condition of consent for surf club and other events held on main beach 

When events are held at the main beach, the actions of those participating in the events and 

those watching have a negative damaging impact on the dune area and native plants. When 

events are granted, a condition of consent must be that the organisers put up temporary 

fencing, for the whole length of beach front abutted by fore dune and native plantings to 

protect both from human impact. 

7. Removal ofthe proposed cycleway by Papamoa rotary club from the coastal reserves 

management plan (CRMP) 

The New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2012 (NZCPS) is in place to protect and preserve 

dune areas. As the CRMP must follow the objectives and Policies ofthe NZCPS, the idea put 

forward by the rotary club is not allowed to appear in the CRMP.

Dear Sir/ Madam. 

RE: SUBMISSION BY POWERCO LIMITED ON THE TAURANGA COASTAL RESERVES 

MANAGEMENT PLAN 

1. INTRODUCTION TO POWERCO 

Powerco is New Zealand's second largest gas and electricity Distribution Company and has 

experience with energy distribution in New Zealand spanning more than a century. The 

Powerco network spreads across the upper and lower central North Island servicing over 

400,000 consumers. This represents 46% of the gas connections and 16% of the electricity 

connections in New Zealand 

Powerco's electricity networks are in Tauranga, Thames, Coromandel, Eastern and 

Southern Waikato, Western Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Wanganui, Rangitikei, Manawatu and 

the Wairarapa (A map of Powerco's assets within the District is included with Attachment 

A). 

Powerco has electricity distribution assets in the following coastal reserves which are subject 

to the Draft Coastal Reserves Management Plan (DCRMP) (refer to Attachment B for Maps 

of each reserve): 

• Mount Main Beach - 11KV HV Distribution Cable (underground) 

• Drury Reserve - 11 KV HV Distribution Cable (underground) 

2. POWERCO'S SUBMISSION 

Powerco does not support the DCRMP in its current form, as it does not include any 

objectives or management standards that recognise the presence of network utilities within 

the Coastal Reserves. Nor does it provide for the ongoing operation, maintenance and 

upgrading of such assets. Powerco seeks to ensure that any Coastal Reserve Management 

Plan provides for the following: 

• Provision for the ongoing maintenance and upgrading of existing assets; 

Burton Planning Consultants Limited

870 

( ^ 

Provision for establishment of new infrastructure when and where required, 

having regard to (inter alia) the extent to which any adverse effects have been 

avoided, remedied or mitigated by the route, site and method selection; 

Provisions for vegetation management, clearance and planting matters; 

Protection of electricity assets from activities and development within close 

proximity 

It should be noted that the issues listed relate to underground cables only. Additional 

matters, not reference here apply to overhead lines. Each of these issues are addressed 

below. 

Ongoing maintenance of existing assets 

Maintenance activities can involve the replacement, on a like for like basis, of equipment, 

basic repair and preservation activities. Maintenance activities will also include root trimming 

and clearance of vegetation where the roots can interfere with an underground cable. The 

operation, maintenance and development of the existing asset base are fundamental to 

securing a reliable supply of electricity to the Tauranga District. Powerco seeks that the 

DCRMP recognises and provides for the ongoing operation and maintenance of existing 

utilities. 

The establishment of new Network Utilities 

When new utilities are proposed, a careful route selection process is used to determine the 

best route in environmental and development cost tenns. The route selection process is the 

best way to minimise, avoid, remedy or mitigate the potential adverse effects of new network 

utilities. However, because of the scale and nature of the linear network the best 

environmental route may need to traverse a particular reserve. In such cases it would be 

appropriate that an easement be obtained. 

Upgrading 

Upgrading of the existing asset base is required from time to time and is necessary for 

securing a reliable supply for electricity to the Tauranga District. Effects from minor 

upgrading activities are similar to maintenance activities. Consequently, it is important that 

Powerco has unrestricted access to its assets for the continued inspection, operation, and 

upgrading of the existing electricity infrastructure which traverses or is located on a reserve. 

However it is recognised that where such activities are required within a reserve, Council will 

need to be consulted 

Vegetation trimming, clearance and planting matters 

Removal of Vegetation 

There are no provisions within the DCRMP that explicitly provide for the removal of 

vegetation for the maintenance of existing network utilities within a reserve. 

It may be necessary for Powerco to trim or remove existing root systems where they 

intermingle with cables and interfere with the flow of electricity, although this is an extremely 

unlikely scenario. Powerco seeks that the DCRMP be amended to include policies that 

provide for root trimming and removal where such vegetation may affect the integrity and 

operation of its assets. 

Planting of Vegetation

871 fl. 

The planting of trees and shrubs can affect underground cables. Powerco's underground 

cables are usually laid at a depth of 600mm below the surface. Large trees and shrubs with 

deep root systems should not be planted overtop of underground cables as the root systems 

could intermingle with the cable and cause interruptions to the flow of electricity. 

Consultation should be undertaken with Powerco prior to planting of any vegetation in the 

vicinity of its underground cables. 

The protection of utilities from activities and development within close proximity. 

There is a need to manage subdivision, development and activities in the immediate vicinity 

of network utilities that pose a risk to. or are at risk from, the operation of the network. 

These risks include: 

> Risk of electrical hazard or injury; 

> Risk to security of supply; 

> Risks to vegetation; 

> Risk to Powerco's ability to inspect and maintain activities to its underground 

cables, and to undertake cable upgrades 

Consultation should be undertaken with Powerco prior to undertaking any development work 

within the vicinity of its assets. 

Relief Sought: 

1. That a new Objective 5 and associated management standards are incorporated 

in the DCRMP to recognise the presence of network utilities, and specifically 

Powerco's electricity distribution networks. The management standards need to 

provide for the ongoing operation, maintenance, upgrading and development of 

the existing utilities without any unnecessary constraints. This can be achieved 

by adding Objective 5 and its associated management policies as outlined beiow. 

Obiective 5: Provide for ttte ongoing operation, maintenance, upgrading and 

development of ttie existing utilities and establisfiment if any new utilities within 

the coastal reserves 

Management Standards 

a. To recognise and provide for the operation and maintenance of existing 

network 

utilities within reserves as permitted activities 

b. Where utilities, other than those required for servicing the reserve, are 

proposed to be located through or over a reserve, or where existing utilities 

are to be upgraded, the authority responsible will undertalte early (i.e. at the

QÔ 

( (^ h-^ 

preliminary scoping stage) and full consultation with the Reserves and 

Facilities Manager, TCC as an affected party. 

c. To provide for network utility operators to remove or trim vegetation, where 

required, and in consultation with the Tauranga City Council (except in cases 

of emergency). 

d. Consultation shall be required with the Une operator prior to the planting of 

any vegetation within the vicinity of any underground electricity cable. 

e. To ensure that activities and development within parks and reserves do not 

generate adverse effects (or reverse sensitivity effects) on existing 

infrastructure. 

3. Conclusion 

Thank you for this opportunity to provide comments on the Draft Coastal Reserves 

Management Plan. If you have any questions regarding the issues raised in Powerco's 

submission please contact the writer.

Submission on Draft Coastal Reserves Management Plan 

by Hoe Aroha Whanau O Mauao Waka Ama Club 

The Hoe Aroha Whanau O Mauao Waka Ama Club (HAWOM) is an affected party of the proposed 

Coastal Reserves Management particularly as it encompasses Waikoririe (Pilot Bay) where we are based. 

HAWOM is a multi cultural club promoting the use of waka paddling as a competitive sport, leisure activity, 

rehabilitation pathway for injured, sick and disabled persons and a means to enable members to access 

and enjoy the surrounding waterways ofthe Tauranga harbour, its environs and the Pacific ocean. 

It caters for all ages and anyone is welcome to join the Club providing they meet some very basic criteria. 

The Club has originated from a desire by local residents, hapu and iwi to revive the ancient ocean based 

skills of Polynesia. 

The Club is engaged in regular training sessions (5 - 7 x a week) all year round and stages a number of 

races based in the harbour and out on the ocean each year. 

The Club participates with significant successes at the annual national sprints, long distance nationals and 

international events such as the World Sprints, Vaka Eiva in Rarotonga and Hamilton Island regatta in 

Australia. 

Over 70 club members will be competing at Vaka Eiva, a week long regatta in Raratonga, this year in 

races varying from 500 m to 45 km. 

The Club supports Council in preparing this management plan particularly the protection of the natural 

environment while enhancing the outdoor recreation and sporting activities and retention of open spaces. 

The Club also supports the following attributes in the Plan: 

The tangata whenua iwi collective, who formed the majority of our membership, in the retention 

and revival of tradition cultural practices relating to the use of beaches and the important role they 

form in society being the interface between land and water 

The integration of Councils Sport and Active Living Strategy 

The promotion of community use without exclusive use 

The promotion of a fair financial return from Commercial users 

Objective 1 

Most of the management statements relate to the ocean coastal reserves. We support 

specifically statements h, j, k, I, n. 

Objective 2 Maintenance of natural character, landscape and ecological values Management 

statements j, k 

Objective 3 Provide for enhanced recreational opportunities. Management statements b, c, d, n, r. 

Objective 4 Recognize, enhance and promote the cultural values. Management statements a, b, c, d ,e 

and the 2 Action.

MAUAO 

Specific Parks - Waikorire 

We support the sand replenishment programme currently being undertaken, the provision of public toilets, 

boat launching / retrieval, bbq and picnic facilities and the provision of excess stormwater over flow paths 

to the harbour. The opportunities to improve the turf, signage and boat ramp. Management statements a, 

c, d, e, f, h, i. 

Our use of the other specific reserves is sporadic and we do not encounter too many obstacles when we 

do use them. 

The Club does not support the following : 

Freedom camping in Waikorire 

Objective 1 

Horses should not be permitted in Waikorire as the public use is too high 

Objective 2b No toxic agri chemicals in Waikorire 

Objective 3 I Council wants to require the Club to sign a lease where no current lease exists. We claim a 

usufructory right to the shed and the land that the shed and our waka are on as we have been here as a 

club for over 15 years. Our Club includes members of the local hapu and iwi who have been here for 

generations. We do not have any exclusivity over any other building other than the small shed which has 

been there for more than 30 years. We believe that any attempt to develop a lease that takes away the 

Club's rights to use what we see as land held in common is not only in direct conflict with Objective 4, but 

also usurps our usufructory right to use that property for the benefit of the wider community, but 

particularly of local hapu and iwi. 

Action 1 

Not required as per the above (31) 

Specific Parks - Waikoririe 

The current land tenure should remain as a road reserve. This much better reflects the traditional use of 

the bay as a means of access to the water moving goods/people from land to boat and vice versa. This 

proposal is not a requirement and the cost benefits would be marginal and difficult to quantify. 

Our "waka and other small water craft" do not restrict the use and access to the beach or the water. 

Together they occupy only a tiny proportion of the space available and provide a reminder and educational 

aspect to the people using the bay, of traditional practices both Pakeha and Maori. 

Action 2 

We do not support the need to survey and reclassify the bay as a recreational reserve. 

Action 5 

As stated above there is no need for a lease with the Club, Council has not provided any financial support 

to the Club and has only shifted our shed, which has been there a lot longer than we have, as part of the 

Mount Maunganui Yacht Club, to provide a boardwalk which has been a publicly contentious item. 

Action Table 

Objective 3 Action 1 As above no lease is required and if Council really insist, it is not a priority. 

We note that in the Moturiki list a License to occupy by NIWA and POL is 

only a medium priority

Re; Submission to Draft Freedom Camping Bylaw 2013 

Our submission is that 

Firstly we do not think that the Tauranga City councillors should be making a decision on this bylaw 

as TCC is the owner/operator of a registered Holiday park and also receives rent from 2 other 

Holiday Parks. Added to that a number of councillors are members of the Motor Home Association 

and this organisation is the driving force behind this legislation. With a view to these conflicts of 

interest we believe that an independent commissioner should be appointed and make a binding 

decision to council. 

We support in principle freedom camping in Tauranga City in appropriate locations and not in 

others. 

We seek a sensible buffer area around commercial Holiday Parks to discourage illegai use of 

facilities and to remove the inevitable tension created by freedom camping under the noses of 

legitimate Holiday Parks paying their way in society. 

3. Freedom Camping on Council land 

We support conditionally with these reservations : 

-providing there is no inconvenience or cost to local ratepayers who actually fund these facilities and 

should have priority on their use 

-that the locations don't infringe or negatively impact on commercial operators 

4. Offences and Breaches 

4.1 We support with these added conditions 

- there must be signage so that motor caravaners are aware of the conditions of use of the location 

eg. Hours, self containment, weight restrictions 

- there must also be signage in the prohibited areas 

- there must be a monitoring and enforcement officer and funding to go with it 

5. Commencement 

The bylaw needs to be reviewed 12 months after commencement. 

Many ratepayers and local residents will not be aware of any potential impact on them until after it 

comes into force. We ask that the council encourages and listens to feedback with a view to refining 

the bylaw as a result of any issues that arise during the 12 months after commencement. 

6. Schedule 1: Freedom Camping Areas 

6.1 Reserve areas where Freedom Camping is permitted. 

Active reserves 

Carlton Street Reserve, Gordon Spratt Reserve, Greerton Park, Macville Park, Mitchell Park, 

Pemberton Park, Waipuna Park & Cambridge Park - we oppose

881 ^ ' 

These are multi use venues used by different clubs at different times and should be not be used at 

all even with restricted days because it is interfering with these sports clubs who not only use them 

on the weekends, but for practices and fixtures during the week both during the day and in the 

evenings and pay a fee to the council for the use of the facilities and therefore should have 

unrestricted access. Why should they have to pay when freedom Campers do not? 

Events such as AIMS Games and Secondary schools tournament week contribute far more to the 

local economy than a few freedom campers. 

Gordon Spratt reserve is right next to a Holiday Park - Papamoa Village Park. 

Coastal reserves 

Harrisons Cut - we oppose - too close to a commercial Holiday Park. 

Motiti reserve - we support - with weight restriction of less than 3.5 tonnes 

Omanu Surf Club Car Park - we oppose - the car park is too small now for the general public. It is a 

very tight space. 

Papamoa Domain and Stella Place - we oppose - these locations are nght on the boundary of a 

Commercial Holiday Park Papamoa Beach Top 10 Holiday Resort. The operators ofthis park lease 

their park from Tauranga City council so it seems to us, to allow freedom camping on their boundary 

puts the council in unnecessary conflict with its own leasee. It also lays the foundation for the 

possibility of freedom campers unlawfully using the holiday parks facilities and the inevitable tension 

that will arise from campers overnighting for free under the noses of commercial Holiday Parks. 

We note that in clause 6.2 the council owned and run Holiday Park in Adams Ave is protected from 

freedom camping in its immediate vicinity and in fact it has a substantial buffer zone around it. 

Taylor Reserve - we oppose - there is a commercial Holiday Park Pacific Christian Holiday Park 

within 500 metres of this reserve. 

Harbour Reserves 

Waikereo Foreshore, Beach Road Reserve, Kulim Park, Marine Park, Matua Saltmarsh, Maxwells 

Road Esplanade, Rotary Park, Tye Park, Whareroa Reserve, Sulphur Point - we support with weight 

restrictions of 3.5 tonnes. 

Neighbour reserves 

Graham Park - we support 

Premier Park 

Memorial Park - we support 

6.2 Road and Car Park Areas where Freedom Camping is permitted. 

We support in general these areas and restrictions with the exception of Nikau Crescent which we 

oppose because there is no hard surface to park on and no limit on the number of vehicles orthe 

weight of them. 

we would like to add these recommendations

Holiday Accommodation Parks Association of New Zealand (HAPNZ). 

The Holiday Accommodation Parks Association of New Zealand (HAPNZ) is the national industry 

association that represents the 420 commercial holiday parks in New Zealand. The Association 

was established in 1955 as the Camp and Cabin Association. 

The holiday park sector provides 38% of New Zealand's commercial accommodation capacity and 

20% of actual guest nights. In the past year holiday parks provided 6,325,431 guest nights. 

Guest nights to holiday parks are made up of approximately 32% international visitors and 68% 

domestic visitors. 

While staying at holiday parks guests contribute $733 million in direct expenditure to the local 

communities. 

Approximately $372 million (51%) of the expenditure is contributed by domestic travellers, with 

the balance of $362 million (49%) by international travellers. 

Submission 

We support the introduction of Freedom Camping Bylaw however we are concerned about three 

specific issues. 

1 The areas where freedom camping is permitted 

2 Enforcement of the Bylaw 

3 Appropriate use of Council land. 

*ln accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, all submissions on this bylavy? viîll be made available to the public through the 

Customer Service Centre and libraries TCC Ref 627544 1

1 The areas where freedom camping is permittee 

sr' 

As an Association we support freedom camping in New Zealand in appropriate locations. 

As part of local communities our members take an active part in the development of policies and 

bylaws which apply to freedom camping. Our members provide feedback on suggested freedom 

camping areas. In some cases we v/ill support freedom camping areas and in others we will 

oppose them; these decisions will be linked to the appropriateness of the location and the mood 

of the community. 

While we do not seek special protection for our members from the bylaws it is sensible that some 

buffer around commercial Holiday Parks be put in place. This can assist in discouraging the 

unlawful use of facilities e.g. showers toilets and dump stations, which occurs at many parks, but 

also remove the inevitable tension that will arise from campers overnighting for free under the 

noses of commercial holiday parks. 

HAPNZ has been an active participant in the NZ Responsible Camping Forum and fully supports the 

key messages and information that has been agreed and promoted by group members. We believe 

that strong, consistent national messages, backed by comprehensive regional information will 

help remove much of the tension that has existed over vehicle-based camping and result in better 

experiences for campervan holiday-makers and communities. 

, f^ 

Clause 6 Schedule 1 Freedom Camping Areas 

This schedule identifies a number of Reserves where it is proposed that Freedom be aUowed. A 

number of these Reserve areas have commercial holiday parks in very close proximity. 

Gordon Spratt is close to Papamoa Beach TOP 10 Resort and Pacific Christian Park 

Harrisons Cut is close to Papamoa Beach TOP 10 Resort and Pacific Christian Park 

Motiti Reserve is close to Papamoa Beach TOP 10 Resort and Pacific Christian Park 

Macville Park is close to Cosy Corner Holiday Park 

Omanu Surf Club is close to Cosy Corner Holiday Park 

Papamoa Domain is close to Papamoa Beach TOP 10 Resort and Pacific Christian Park 

Stella Place is close to Papamoa Beach TOP 10 Resort and Pacific Christian Park 

Taylor Reserve is close to Papamoa Beach TOP 10 Resort and Pacific Christian Park 

We suggest that these locations be removed from the list and be included in the list of prohibited 

areas. 

2 Enforcement of the Bylaw 

The permissive nature of this bylaw will encourage free camping throughout the Tauranga 

District. To ensure that the conditions identified in Clause 3.1 are being met there will need to be 

a considerable investment by Council in enforcement and visitor education. The Responsible 

Camping Forum has identified privately owned non self-contained vehicles as being a major issue 

for the country. Any new bylaw which provides such a range of locations for free camping will 

**ln accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, all submissions on this bylav^r will be made available to the public through the 

Customer Service Centre and libraries TCC Ref 627544]

888 

necessitate a considerable investment in enforcement to ensure that the conditions are being 

met. Failure to enforce these conditions will lead to health and safety issues which will impact on 

ratepayers. 

ri 

We suggest that should Council approve this Bylaw that a detailed budget is developed for both 

enforcement, signage and visitor education. 

3 Appropriate Use of Council Land 

For a community to allow freedom-camping, as Tauranga does, the council takes on itself the 

responsibility and costs of oversight and provision of appropriate facilities for these users. 

In doing so it needs to keep in mind two potential impacts; not to unfairly compete against its 

commercial operators that provide employment and income opportunities in servicing visitor 

needs and to ensure that the community derives the greatest value from its natural assets. It 

seems unlikely that the Council would consider leasing the use of the various Reserves, car 

parks or public roads to a camping operator. This may in part be a desire to maintain it for 

public access. If this assumption is correct then it makes even less sense to provide such areas 

available at no cost to Self-Contained Campervans. 

In doing so Council is providing services in competition with private providers who also pay rates 

to Council to fund these services. Prime public real estate which is in in the public domain is 

being used for private purposes. Some parking in the road and carpark areas has time limitations 

while Self-Contained Campervans will be permitted to stay for 48 hours. No serious tourism 

destination provides prime location sites for nothing. 

We suggest that takes more time in working with the local community, including commercial 

holiday park operators to identify freedom camping sites that will better meet the needs of 

all stakeholders.

We understand underthe Freedom Camping Act 2011 that Freedom Camping will be authorised by 

councils in some appropriate areas. 

However: 

1. We do not think that the Tauranga City councillors should be making a decision on this bylaw as TCC is 

the owner/operator of a registered Holiday park and also receives rent from 2 other Holiday Parks. We 

believe there are also councillors that are members ofthe Motor Home Association and this organisation 

is the driving force behind this legislation. 

2. We believe that an independent commissioner should be appointed and make a binding decision to 

council. 

3. We support freedom camping in appropriate locations and oppose it in other locations. 

We seek a sensible buffer area around commercial holiday parks to discourage unlawful use of the 

facilities of legitimate holiday parks paying their way in society. 

Issues from the Draft Bylaw 

Clause 3: Freedom Camping on Council Land 



3.1(c) Support 



3.1 (f) Support 

3.1 (e) Oppose 

Vehicles could potentially move from one park to another after 2 nights and live on our 

reserves/carparks/streets 

Recommendation 

Do not allow to stay in any one Reserve or Car Park area for more than two nights per calendar month 

Exclude street because we do not believe street parking should be allowed see 6.2 below. 

3.1(h) Support 

3.1 (i): Support.

89 -n 

Clause 4: Offences & Breaches. 

4.1 Support. But who will be monitoring and enforcing this bylaw and who will be paying for this service? 

Clause 6: Schedule 1: Freedom Campinq Areas 

Section 6.1: RESERVES: 

6.1 Oppose 

Recommendation: 

a: Permitted parking on reserves should be restricted to 2 vehicles per night 

b: Size restriction of less than 3.5 tonnes. 

Reason: Designated areas in Reserves may not be hard surfaced and large vehicles could tear-up the grass or 

metalled surface 

Who will monitor this? 

EXCLUDE below and add to Schedule 2; Prohibited Areas 

Macville Park: Oppose. 

This is a drop off zone for Omanu School, Gwen Rodgers Kindergarten and Mt College as well as a sports 

field which is used mid week and weekends. 

Omanu Surf Club: Oppose. 

It is sensible that some buffering around a commercial holiday park should be put in place. A very small carpark 

with poor access and turning. Why should one vehicle have the privilege? 

Who will monitor this? / thought the gate was supposed to be locked nightly at this park? 

Motiti Resen/e: Oppose. 

Papamoa Domain: Oppose. 

Stella Place: Oppose. 

Taylor Reserve: Oppose. 

Gordon Spratt Reserve: Oppose 

All of these locations are close to commercial holiday parks. It is sensible that some buffering around a 

commercial holiday park should be put in place. 

In general. Freedom Camping on Public Land/ Reserves needs more restrictions on vehicle numbers 

ond sizes, and some reserves need excluding. 

Section 6.2: ROAD AREAS: 

a. All Roads; Oppose. 

All residential and commercial roads should be excluded from overnight parking within the city 

boundary. 

ROAD DEFINITION: a. Abbr. Rd. An open, generally public way for the passage of vehicles. 

This does not mean a camping area. 

b. Oceanbeach Road/ Moa Park car park: Oppose. 

This is a threat to our business with approx 5 parks, public toilets, and access to our amenities through our 

Moa Park entrance. It is sensible that there is some buffering around commercial holiday parks. 

Marine Parade from Banks Avenue to Oceanbeach Road roundabout: Oppose. 

This stretch of road extends to within 400m of our Holiday Park. It is sensible that there is some buffering 

around commercial holiday parks. 

There are in excess of 700 car parks on this stretch of road which has the potential for the likes of caravan 

clubs or NZMCA to hold a large beach front rally staying 2 nights and not pay a cent.

893 ^ ^ 

c. Nikau Cresent: Oppose 

d. Commercial Roads: Oppose. 

It is hard to find car parks in a commercial area at the best of times. Issues with parking, monitoring, 

rubbish, noise, health and safety 

Recommendation: if parking is to be permitted in any ofthe above road areas. 

1: Maximum of 2 vehicles. 

2: Vehicle must be less than 3.5 tonnes. 

3: Paid monitoring would need to be put in place with 24 hr callout if any road parking was to be approved , 

We believe Freedom Camping should be prohibited from all roads within the city boundary. So 

oppose all on street overnight parking. The reasons being Health and Safety, Enforcement and 

Monitoring, Rubbish ond sewerage disposal. Noise Control, Restricting ratepayers from using 

public roads for business and pleasure. 

Section 7: Schedule 2: Prohibited Areas 


Other issues 

The Tauranga area is well serviced by commercial Holiday Parks which are only full from the 26"^ of 

December to 6*'^ of January in any given year so there is plenty of capacity. Commercial Holiday parks 

provide dump stations, waste removal and recycling, lighting, fencing, controlled access to the site and 

onsite management and security all at no cost to the ratepayer. 

Holiday Parks have insurance cover for things such as Public Liability. Would council be liable for any injury 

or action that occurs on a site that it has allowed an activity to occur when it has not provided the 

necessary facilities for that activity. 

Fire Safety - We feel that council would be wise to include an additional restriction stating that mobile 

homes must be parked a minimum distance apart. This is a basic fire safety measure and is important for 

temporary living spaces that are carrying gas and other flammable substances. 

NOTE: Unless proper monitoring and enforcement systems are put in place this whole bylaw will become a 

farce. 

There has always been a problem with sleeper vans piggybacking on the back of these bylaws. 

Freedom camping is something that should take place in remote areas where commercial facilities are not 

available. 

This Bylaw does not make sense it allows for the rich to stay for Free and the poor to pay ??????????

Draft Freedom Camping Bylaw 2013 




Tauranga

89G 

^ 


535 Papamoa Beach Road 

Papamoa 3118 

17 July 2013 






Firstly, we would like to acknowledge that the Tauranga City Council (TCC) has been 

compelled to revise its Freedom Camping Policies by the passing of the Freedom 

Camping Act 2011 by the Government. We are aware of the provisions of the Act. 

TCC Councillors should not make a decision on this Bylaw as TCC is the 

owner/operator of a registered holiday park and also receives rent from 2 other holiday 

parks. This Bylaw will have a significant impact on the business of holiday parks. 

An independent commissioner should conduct the hearing and make a binding decision 

to Council. 

We support freedom camping in appropriate locations and oppose it in other locations. 

We seek a sensible buffer area around commercial holiday parks to discourage 

unlawful use of facilities and to remove the inevitable tension created by freedom 

camping under the noses of legitimate holiday parks paying their way in society. 

Identified issues & recommendations to the Draft Bylaw 

Clause 3: Freedom Camping on Council Land 



3.1 (c) Support 



3.1 (f) Support.

897 ^ 

3.1 (g) Support 

Recommendation: Definition/wording of 'Car Park' be changed to 'Car Park 

area' to avoid doubt. 

i.e. "Do not stay in any one Reserve or Car Park area or in any one Street for 

more than two nights per calendar month" 

3.1 (h) Support 

3.1 (i): Support. 

However Oppose Schedule 1 restrictions; see issues against clause 6 below. 

Clause 4: Offenses & Breaches. 

4.1 Support. 

Identified Issues; 

a. To enforce these Bylaws Council will need to have a monitoring & enforcement 

policy. 

b. With the proposed number of freedom camping sites, technically on any given 

night there could be hundreds of freedom campers to be monitored. Restricting 

numbers would lessen the cost of monitoring & enforcement. 

c. Under the Act, Council has an obligation to adequately define by map & 

description each restricted or prohibited area. It also has an obligation to install 

adequate signage throughout the city. To adequately inform freedom campers 

via print, media, web, signage and including monitoring & enforcement it will 

come at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars to ratepayers. We have been 

informed that Council has no budget for monitoring & enforcement and if this 

Bylaw passes, provision will have to be made for this. 

d. Under the proposed Bylaw, legally parked self-contained vehicles will attract 

sleeper vans etc as it has proven to do so. Not all people want to make 

themselves aware ofthe rules & regulations, hence the need for adequate 

signage and enforcement. 

Clause 6: Schedule 1; Freedom Camping Areas. 

Section 6.1: RESERVES; 

6.1 Oppose 

Reasons: 

a. In relation sports fields; camping is allowed Sunday-Thursday only, however 

sports teams generally practice after-work mid-week and sports such as bowls & 

tennis during the day. Not to mention sports toumaments, which are generally 

mid-week. The draft restrictions infer that the sports field car parks are only at a 

premium use during weekends. 

b. In relation to Coastal Reserves; Freedom camping should not be allowed in 

Papamoa Domain, Stella Place and Harrisons Cut. It is sensible that some 

buffering around a commercial holiday park should be put in place. This can 

assist in discouraging the unlawful use of facilities. E.g. showers, toilets & dump

898 ^ 

stations, which occurs at many parks, but also remove the inevitable tension 

that will arise from campers overnighting for free under the noses of our 

commercial holiday park. 

Note: We note that the draft includes a large prohibited buffer zone around the 

Councils own Holiday Park in Mt Maunganui. e.g the exclusion zone of The Mall 

and Marine Parade from Adams Ave to Banks Ave. 

Why is it that a buffer zone has been included for the Councils own Holiday 

Park, yet 3 locations in the immediate vicinity of our holiday park have been 

permitted? 

In relation to all other reserves mentioned in the draft; any freedom camping 

over the summer months and weekends could prevent others from undertaking 

legitimate activities in the Reserve. 

In relation to restrictions in all reserve areas; there is no vehicle weight 

restriction. 

Recommendation 1: Freedom camping should not be permitted in Harrisons 

Cut, Stella Place & the Papamoa Domain. 

Recommendation 2: Maximum of 2 vehicles per permitted reserve/sports field. 


Reason: Designated areas in Reserves may not be hard surfaced and large 

vehicles could tear-up the grass or metalled surface. 

Section 6.2: ROAD AREAS; 

a. In relation to residential areas; 

Oppose. 


Recommendation: Maximum of 2 vehicles in any one area. 

b. In relation to Nikau Crescent; 

Oppose. 


Recommendation 1: Maximum of 2 vehicles. 


c. In relation to Commercial areas; 

Oppose. 




d. In relation to Industrial areas; 

Oppose. 

Reason: No restrictions at all. These are busy areas where parking is limited 

already due to trucks, trailers, work vehicles and the like. 



e. In relation to Rural areas; 



Recommendation 2: Vehicle must be less than 3.5 tonnes

899 

- ^ 

f. In relation to Rural Residential areas; 




Section 6.2: CAR PARK AREAS; 

The draft has no restriction on the number of vehicles in the allocated car park areas. 

This could prevent ratepayers going about their legitimate business. 

e.g. Technically the car park in the central Mt Maunganui shopping area could be 

completely full of legally parked freedom campers at any one time denying both 

residents & paying holiday makers access. 

e.g. It is a fact that the Papamoa Community Centre car park is often full of library users 

& evening users of the premises so to allow freedom camping in this car park will 

restrict local residents use of the car park. 

Recommendation 1: Maximum of 2 vehicles per car park area 


Section 7: Sechdule 2; Prohibited Areas 



Section 7.3; Support 

Other Issues; 

a. Review of Bylaw; 

FCA 2011; Clause 13(1): States a review must be made no later than 5 years 

after the date on which the Bylaw was made. 

Recommendation: A review within 2 years would be appropriate to assess the 

impact of the new Bylaw. 

b. Fire Safety; 

We feel that Council would be wise to include an additional restriction stating 

that; "mobile homes must be parked a minimum of 3 meters apart". This is a 

basic fire safety measure and is important for temporary living places which are 

carrying gas and other flammable substances. 

c. Under this proposed draft we would like to make the ratepayers aware that a 

person could technically live in a self-contained motorhome on the streets of 

Tauranga all year round and contribute nothing. It can be argued that they 

spend money in the area, however contributing money to supermarkets and 

petrol stations should not be considered a relevant & fair contribution to our 

communities.

900 C^ 

It should be recognised that the city has ample registered Holiday Parks, which 

are only fully occupied 28 December - 6 January at a maximum in any given 

year and therefore there is no lack of capacity. These holiday parks provide 

dump stations, waste removal & recycling, lighting, fencing, controlled access to 

the site & on-site management security etc; all at no cost to the rate payer. 

Violent attacks on freedom campers in NZ are well documented and the Citys 

reputation has the potential to be seriously damaged with the proposed number 

of freedom camping sites. Whilst Holiday Parks cannot guarantee visitor safety, 

we do put in place a range of measures which address the issue. 

Holiday Parks have insurance covering such things as public liability. Would 

Council be liable for any injury or action that occurs on a site that it has allowed 

an activity to occur, when it has not provided the necessary facilities for that 

activity. 

Thank you for your consideration in these matters.

Ngai Te Rangi fwi and Ngai Tukairangi Hapu 

Submission on the Tauranga City Council Draft Coastal Reserves Management Plan 

Introduction 

1. Ngai Tukairangi Hapu and Ngai Te Rangi Iwi (the Submitters) are recognised as the 

predominant tangata whenua groups in Mount Maunganui. 

2. The Submitters are interested in the Draft Coast Reserves Plan in its entirety. 

3. The Submitters are generally in support of the Draft Coastal Reserves Management 

Plan, subject to the comments below. 

4. The Submitters refer to the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010, Objective 

3, which states: 

To take account of the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, recognise the role 

of tangata whenua as kaitiaki and provide for tangata whenua involvement in 

management ofthe coastal environment by: 

• recognising the ongoing and enduring relationship of tangata whenua 

over their lands, rohe and resources; 

• promoting meaningful relationships and interactions between tangata 

whenua and persons exercising functions and powers under the Act; 

• incorporating matauranga MSori into sustainable management 

practices; and 

• recognising and protecting characteristics of the coastal environment 

that are of special value to tangata whenua. 

5. Further, the Submitters refer to the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010, 

Policy 2(a), which states: 

The Treaty of Waitangi, tangata whenua and Maori heritage 

In taking account ofthe principles ofthe Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o 

Waitangi), and kaitiakitanga, in relation to the coastal environment: 

(a) 

recognise that tangata whenua have traditional and continuing cultural 

relationships with areas of the coastal environment, including places 

where they have lived and fished for generations; 

6. Although the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010 does not fit squarely 

under the Reserves Act 1977, it is the leading statement from Central Govemment in 

respect of management of the Coastal environment and the guidance that it provides 

is useful in providing consistency across local authority planning regimes regardless 

of whether jurisdiction is founded under the Reserves Act or the Resource 

Management Act. 

7. In light of the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010 and without limiting the 

generality ofthe above, Ngai Tukairangi and Ngai Te Rangi make the following 

specific submissions:
