Erosion Protection Works

The purpose of these guidelines is to identify criteria and standards for the design of coastal erosion protection works in the  Tauranga Harbour, while at the same time providing  a background against which consent applications for their construction may be considered.

The guidelines have been developed to  primarily assist  professionals but also contain considerable information of value to lay people and other stakeholders. They do not present designs that will automatically gain resource consent but give options and guidance to those dealing with harbour margin erosion.  Every site is different and during the resource consent process all site specific aspects will be taken into account.
