P95-014 Coastal Erosion Strategy

5 October 1995
GMCA - Parks

That having considered the report of the Coastal Erosion Strategy Working Party on the development of a Coastal Erosion Strategy for that area of coastline within the bounds of the New Plymouth District, and being aware that the frame of reference for the Working Party was the 1995 report 'Coastal Erosion Strategy' prepared by the Planning Department of the Council, and that in particular eight specified coastal areas are named in the report:

• Tongaporutu
• Urenui
• Onaero Beach
• Onaero Township
• Waitara Foreshore
• Bell Block Beach
• Fitzroy Beach
• Oakura Beach

and as recommended by the Coastal Erosion Strategy Working Party the Council resolves to take the following course of action in respect of the specified areas:

a) Tongaporutu
i) Discussions be entered into with Natural Gas Corporation of New Zealand Limited with a view to negotiations for the repair or dismantling of the gabion baskets formerly installed by the Corporation to protect a natural gas pipeline; it being noted that the present state of the gabion baskets indicates a severe state of disrepair;
ii) Monitoring of the general area be undertaken, including a watching brief on private seawalls protecting riverside baches.

b) Urenui
i) Planting and reshaping of the dunes in front of the Urenui Motor Camp, and the already approved boulder toe wall protection work due to commence December 1995 be determined as the appropriate erosion prevention strategy for this area;
ii) Preference be given for no more hard protection measures along this stretch of coastline;
iii) Monitoring of the general foreshore area be undertaken, including the motor camp, golf course and the two rock promontories either end of the Urenui Beach.

c) Onaero Beach
i) Examination be undertaken of appropriate planting to stabilise the existing erosion problem at the beach including the maintenance of alternative improved access points to the beach;
ii) It be acknowledged that the premises of the Waitara Life Saving Club may require relocation at a future date;
iii) Monitoring of the general foreshore area be undertaken;
iv) A determination be made that the Onaero Beach (and not the Township) is the most appropriate area for the possible launch of rescue, and like craft.

d) Onaero Township
i) The intent of a Council resolution made 14 December 1992 (refer P92-012) on the issue of coastal erosion at Onaero be reinforced: "That having considered the report of the Director of Parks concerning the request from the Onaero Ratepayers and Residents Action Group for the Council to repair the privately owned concrete structure at the western end of Onaero Beach, the Council resolves to confirm the existing policy with regard to coastal protection works in that only significant roads and/or reserves will be considered for erosion protection, and that the Onaero Beach esplanade reserve is not deemed to come into the category (District wide) of a significant reserve.";
ii) Consultation be entered into with the Taranaki Regional Council, the local residents and the Ngati Mutunga Iwi with a view to constructing a seawall that ties in with existing private property protection measures;
iii) Facilitate ease of access to the beach for the general pedestrian public;
iv) Monitoring of the general foreshore be undertaken.

e) Waitara
i) In the first instance, investigate and establish a cost with a view to proceeding with the repair and maintenance of the training/protection wall on the east bank of the Waitara River Mouth in accordance with Resource Consents already approved;
ii) Further investigations and costings be also established for a training/protection wall on the west bank of the Waitara River Mouth;
iii) Monitoring of the general area be undertaken.

f) Bell Block Beach
i) As this stretch of coastline can be considered a rare aeolian (wind blown) landscape feature, and as any stabilisation of sand dunes would be ineffective, no action be taken in this regard;
ii) Monitoring of the general area be undertaken.

g) Fitzroy/East End Beach
i) Negotiations be initiated with Westgate Transport Limited and/or its shareholder Taranaki Regional Council for the restoration of the Fitzroy/East End Beach(es) potential or recreational usage, and the associated protection of the District infrastructure behind the dune area;
ii) Hard protection measures be seen only as a last resort protection option for this area;
iii) Monitoring of the general area be undertaken.

h) Oakura Beach
i) No erosion protection measures be initiated as the Oakura Beach is at present stabilised;
ii) Hard protection measures be avoided where possible along the beach;
iii) Monitoring of the general area be undertaken.

That in order to give further impetus to certain proposed District Coastal Erosion Strategy measures as already recommended by the Coastal Erosion Strategy Working Party and again having regard to the document "Coastal Erosion Strategy" prepared by the Planning Department of the New Plymouth District Council September 1995, the Council resolves to receive the Coastal Erosion Strategy Report, and as recommended by the Coastal Erosion Strategy Working Party, adopt the following recommendations:

1. The New Plymouth District Council expressly declares that only SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC ASSETS along the District's coastline will qualify for possible protection;
2. Any developments proposed within the Coastal Hazard Zone (to be formulated within the District Plan) will have to meet additional performance standards before being allowed to commence, and that, as a complement to this notation will be entered on land titles under section 36(2) of the Building Act 1991;
3. A more detailed assessment of protection options be assessed and implemented at Fitzroy and Urenui beaches with a preference for soft stabilisation works;
4. A monitoring strategy be formulated and implemented to assess the beach profile at all District beaches of SIGNIFICANT recreational value and that where appropriate the Council shall ensure the long term recreational viability of those beaches is not lost;
5. It be recognised that all approved elements of an integrated Coastal Erosion Strategy are a Council responsibility, and that in the first instance the task of monitoring District coastal erosion areas devolves on the Community Services Manager, reporting to the Council through the medium of the Strategy Committee;
6. Where it is judged that a coastal area requires protection a detailed analysis should be undertaken by the Council with an emphasis on designing with nature rather than against it and that works should only proceed if there is a net benefit to the Council and the Community from protecting these assets;
7. Works be assessed and implemented as soon as is possible for the Onaero Township and the Waitara River Mouth;
8. An accumulating fund be established and continued through the Council's Annual Plan for capital and maintenance funding for the protection of the significant public assets of the District's coastline;
9. Any protection works to be carried out on a particular stretch of coastline shall involve consultation with the appropriate Iwi of the area;
10. In all District Coastal Erosion protection works, it be vital that where appropriate public pedestrian access to coastal beaches be facilitated, and that in the first instance this responsibility devolve on the Community Services Department;

The Council reaffirms an early resolution of 14 December 1992 (refer P92-012) with regard to coastal protection works in that only significant roads and/or reserves will be considered for erosion protection.

1. The Fencing Act 1978 defines the level of the Council’s contribution as specified in the Second Schedule of the Act as “one half the cost of a post and four rail fence based on the value at the time of application;
2. The Council will only contribute to a joint boundary fence when it is established on the correct legal boundary;

2. Any proposal for public artworks will be supported with a detailed proposal with an evaluation of the proposal undertaken by the Director of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and the Director of Parks and Leisure Services which will -
   • Outline the capital and ongoing operational costs of the artwork and how these will be funded; and
   • How the work will be implemented; and
   • How the work fits the development and will integrate with the design concept for the foreshore; and graphically shows the work and how it will be integrated into the development.

P05-014 Organised and Commercial Activity on the Coastal Walkway

15 February 2005 GMCA - Parks

Guidelines and criteria for events on the Coastal Walkway and adjacent Reserves (including charitable and fundraising events).

The Council (as a result of extensive community consultation) has established the following values as guidelines for activities on the Coastal Walkway:

Casual access – an anytime, unhindered experience. Pedestrian priority – safe to stroll or jog without the concerns of vehicle negotiation. Opportunities for other casual use such as cycling, roller blading etc. Uncluttered, largely naturally landscaped environment. Non-intrusive services provided for adding value to the Coastal Walkway experience not for their own sake.

Based upon these values the following guidelines and criteria have been developed:

1. All events must be booked in advance through the Council’s Customer Call Centre at least two weeks prior to the event taking place. This is to ensure:
   • There will be no clash with an existing event or activity.
   • Maintenance activities can be scheduled to ensure they do not clash with the proposed activities.
   • Other walkway users can be notified if necessary.
   • Any risks can be assessed and managed.
2. Events that have the potential to significantly interfere with the public’s ability to utilise the walkway or surrounding reserves must be of limited duration and be, in the judgement of the Council or Council officers with appropriate delegations, of such benefit to the community as to justify the temporary loss of public enjoyment of the walkway.
3. For guidance the Council recognises the community’s desire that the “promenade” area of the Coastal Walkway (Liardet St to Egmont St) will be a more ‘vibrant’ area with a range of activities and is as such the Walkway in this area is wider to accommodate increased activity. Conversely, the remainder of the Coastal Walkway is anticipated to be for quieter, individual enjoyment of the natural environment.
4. In general, approval for organised events will only be granted to entities with a legal status which provides for accountability. Examples would be Incorporated Societies, Charitable Trusts, or an entity set up to raise funds for educational or recreational establishment.
5. Events should be planned to ensure continued casual usage to all areas of the walkway and surrounding reserves and approval to limit casual access to any public area will only be considered in exceptional circumstances.
6. Soliciting of the public will not be permitted unless expressly allowed for in the approval to undertake the event or activity.
7. Depending on the scale and potential for risk, the Council reserves the right to require a Health and Safety Plan. If required, this plan must be submitted to the Council no later than 10 working days before the event and shall include all necessary details for managing a safe event including:
   • Marshalling and supervision arrangements.
   • First aid provision, and access arrangements for emergency vehicles.
   • Contact details of event organisers.
   • Assessment of the impact and interaction with casual users during the event.
     A model Health & Safety plan can be obtained from the Council for organisations and individuals not having their own.
8. In general, the Council will reserve the right for any event deemed to carry a significant public risk to require the organising entity to hold public liability insurance to a minimum of $500,000 for any single claim involving participants, spectators and members of the public who may seek damages as a result of the event. On demand a copy of this insurance shall be lodged with the Council no later than 10 working days before the event.
9. The sale of foodstuffs, drinks or any other merchandise or services requires formal prior approval of the Council which will be in writing.
10. The Council reserves the right to limit the number of events in any given period. For guidance this will be no more than two weekend and four weekday events in one calendar month.
11. No sound or music amplification shall be employed unless specifically agreed in advance in writing.
12. Access for events on the walkway and surrounding reserves will be provided free of charge.
13. Specific services from the Council may attract charges.
14. The organiser of the event will be held accountable for the cost of any damage (including damage to landscape and vegetation) which is caused by the event.
15. In general, no motorised vehicles shall be brought into the areas (aside from designated car parks) without the prior permission of the Council.
16. Any event found to be operating without the prior approval of the Council and deemed to be impeding the use and enjoyment of the Coastal Walkway for casual users will be stopped immediately and the Council will seek costs of any action taken against the organiser of the unauthorised event.
17. No event or activity will be approved that will, or is likely to, cause damage to any facility or landscape in the area.
18. The Council may refuse to accept a booking for an activity that it assesses to be illegal, likely to offend, is of a political nature or may by association bring the Council into controversy or disrepute.

Criteria and conditions for the hire of equipment, provision of services and sale of food or drink on the coastal walkway and adjacent reserves (concessions).

It is the objective of the Council that concessions allowed on the Coastal Walkway and adjacent reserves provide the public with a high quality experience.

The Council (as a result of extensive community consultation) has established the following values as guidelines for activities on the Coastal Walkway:

• Casual access – an anytime, unhindered experience.
• Pedestrian priority – safe to stroll or jog without the concerns of vehicle negotiation.
• Opportunities for other casual use such as cycling, roller blading etc.
• Uncluttered, largely naturally landscaped environment.
• Non-intrusive services provided for adding value to the Coastal Walkway experience not for their own sake.

Based upon these values the following guidelines and criteria have been developed.

1. No concession will be granted which has the potential to interfere with the public’s ability to utilise the walkway or surrounding reserves, or have a detrimental effect upon the environment of the area.
2. To ensure the high quality experience noted above the Council reserves the right to limit the number of concessions on the Walkway, any area of the Walkway, or any adjacent reserve.

8. Temporary concessions may be granted in addition to longer term concessions. In general these will be for goods and services not provided by an existing concessionaire in the same general area. Temporary concessions will normally not exceed 14 days in duration.
9. All concessionaires (including temporary concessionaires) shall carry public liability insurance to the value of $500,000 for any one claim.
10. All concessionaires shall comply with all relevant Bylaws and regulations at all times.
11. All concessionaires shall hold relevant certification (eg. food hygiene) or be able to obtain such certification prior to the commencement of taking up the concession.
12. Any concession which involves the hire or use of equipment by the public shall prior to being granted a concession provide a full Health and Safety Assessment and Plan. The Council reserves the right to reject any proposal that it considers unsafe or unsuitable.
13. All advertising signage associated with a concession shall be subject to prior approval and is not to be altered without approval of the Council which will be in writing.
14. Tables and chairs may be allowed. These are to be agreed in advance in terms of number and location and any changes approved in writing.
15. In providing the service, no damage shall be caused to the landscape, fixtures or fittings.
16. Concessionaires will be held accountable for the cost of repairing any damage (including damage to landscape and vegetation) which is a result of their operations.
17. No vehicle shall be taken onto the reserve or walkway other than is necessary to provide the service. Any towing vehicle shall be removed to an official car park during the period of service provision. Any access required through land belonging to a third party shall be arranged by the concessionaire.
18. Sufficient receptacles shall be provided by each concessionaire to accommodate all rubbish generated by their operation. Such receptacles shall be agreed with the Council prior to the commencement of the service and are not to be changed or altered without the Council’s agreement which will be in writing.
19. It is the concessionaire’s responsibility to maintain and empty at sufficient frequency those rubbish receptacles required as a result of their activity. All rubbish from the service shall be removed at least daily from the area by the concessionaire. (This is to include the removal of any staining on hard surfaces.)
20. The concessionaire shall not transfer, sublet or in any way assign the rights to provide the service without the approval of the Council.

P05-017 Heritage Trails

21 June 2005
GMCS - Parks

Future proposed heritage trails (or additions to existing trails) will be subject to an evaluation process that demonstrates:

• The point(s) on the trail is(are) of significant local, regional or national historical importance as determined by the relevant historical authorities.
• That there is an education value to interpreting the heritage features with signage as determined the relevant educational authorities.
• That the point(s) on the trail would be of interest to visitors to the area as determined by the relevant tourism authorities.

It is expected that any proposed heritage trail or the majority of points on a proposed trail would meet at least one of the above evaluation criteria.

A successful evaluation under these criteria does not automatically guarantee New Plymouth District Council resources to adopt the trail (or additions).
