<strong>Mangatawa</strong> Drain Flood Bypass and TEM Storm<strong>water</strong> AEE<br />
(a) The preservation of the natural character of the coastal environment (including the coastal marine<br />
area), wetlands, and lakes and rivers and their margins, and the protection of them from inappropriate<br />
subdivision, use, and development:<br />
(c) The protection of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous<br />
fauna:<br />
(e) The relationship of maori and their culture and traditions with their ancestral lands, <strong>water</strong> sites, waahi<br />
tapu and other taonga.<br />
Comment<br />
The <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> management system and construction management regimes will avoid, remedy and mitigate<br />
effects and thereby preserve the natural character of the downstream coastal environment. The Special<br />
Ecological Area listed in the District Plan will be continued to be protected by enlarging the treatment<br />
capabilities of the existing <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment facility thereby maintaining protection of the only significant<br />
indigenous vegetation on the project area. The proposed <strong>Mangatawa</strong> Flood Bypass will bypass the SES 13,<br />
minimising potential effects from flood discharges at this location. Archaeological and cultural protocols<br />
support the relationship of maori and their culture and traditions with the lands, <strong>water</strong>, sites, waahi tapu and<br />
other taonga.<br />
Section 7 Other Matters<br />
In achieving the purpose of this Act, all persons exercising functions and powers under it, in relation to<br />
managing the use, development, and protection of natural and physical resources, shall have particular regard<br />
to—<br />
(a) Kaitiakitanga:<br />
aa) The ethic of stewardship:<br />
(b) The efficient use and development of natural and physical resources:<br />
(ba) the efficiency of the end use of energy:<br />
(c) The maintenance and enhancement of amenity values:<br />
(f) Maintenance and enhancement of the quality of the environment:<br />
(i) the effects of climate change:<br />
Comment<br />
This proposal meets the parameters of Section 7 listed above by providing <strong>for</strong> the use, development, and<br />
protection of natural and physical resources. The proposal was separated from the TEM project because of the<br />
complex way the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> was required to be managed in this area. Constraining elements of the proposal<br />
included the large urban areas in the Wairakei, Maranui and Arataki <strong>catchment</strong>s, the infrastructural networks in<br />
