Effectiveness and Efficiency of the Regional Coastal Plan for Taranaki - published 2009

The Resource Management Act requires the Council to report on the effectiveness and efficiency of policies, rules and other methods in its Regional Plans. This involves looking back at how the Regional Coastal plan has measured up. Such an assessment is not only required by legislation, but is good planning practice as part of the review of the Plan. This assessment was based on feedback from stakeholders, data from consents and incidents databases, monitoring reports, state of environment monitoring and annual significant activity reports.
