Evaluating the effectiveness of the RCP was undertaken by first examining the outputs of the
plan (consents issued, consent monitoring, unauthorised incidents and non-regulatory methods
undertaken).
This found that the number of current coastal consents is relatively low (just over 250) and an
average of 24 consents per year have been issued, varied or renewed since the RCP was made

Pukeiti has partnered with Hayley Benseman Skincare to create Pukeiti Hand and Body Cream, a New Zealand first in natural skincare. The new Pukeiti cream is believed to be the first in New Zealand to incorporate Rhododendron Anthopogon essential oil and is hand-blended locally from Hayley’s workshop in Inglewood, Taranaki. As Pukeiti hosts one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of rhododendrons, it is fitting the new cream incorporates Rhododendron oil and is produced

possible sensitive nearshore habitats within the TCMA:
o North and South Traps. These are already identified as sensitive habitats in
